Masterpiece

 

In order to raise money towards charity stouenscc.co.uk have been very kindly donated an original signed copy of a true St Ouen’s Star. 

 

This genuine original copy signed by the Star himself on his 30th Birthday celebration meal with family, friend of the family and close friends can be yours.  Please email your bid for this masterpiece to swans@stouenscc.co.uk

 

Happy 30th Birthday Karl, from all at St Ouen’s Cricket Club.

 
Relocation

 

As a number of you know and I feel the sender of the following email may have also known that the Web Base of  stouenscc.co.uk has moved to the country.  However, I thought it had some comical content so it has been published.  If you have anything that you feel may be of note to the readers, please let us know at swans@stouenscc.co.uk.

 

Hello.

It seems to me that the updating of the revolutionary new St Ouens C.C web site,
is as about as fast as a Dave Morfee delivery!! Any news on this front at all??

Best Regards
The Dangerous Robin Tewkesbury
.

And just for Rob his details can now be found at Players .

 

Fashion Part 2

 

We are looking for suggestions for the colour of the next St Ouen’s Leisure garment.  As seen in Fashion the garment for the last few seasons has been grey-marl.  You will note that the club badge is on the garment and its colours that make it up are shown below.

 

 

We can easily obtain the following colours but others are available,

 

* White
* Black
* Navy Blue
* Sky Blue
* Royal Blue
* Light (Emerald) Green
* Bottle Green
* Yellow
* Burgundy
* Red

 

Please email us at swans@stouenscc.co.uk with your suggestions for a new colour.

 

Penalty Runs

 

To update you on previous comments made about two upstanding members of the Club, both on and off the field and the favourites to be leading penalty runs scorers, no member of the Club have been awarded, if you can call it that, a 5 run penalty. 

 

However, the only member of the club getting close to that was gritty Dave Morfee who since arriving in the Island has diligently continued to shine one side of the ball during ‘his’ brand of slow medium.  Not a problem you would think but on Saturday 12th May 2001 against he was warned by Mike Carpenter, no relation to the umpire of the same name at Claverham C.C, for rubbing the other side in the foot holes. Something he has been doing since he arrived in the island 3 years ago. 

 

Fashion Part 1

 

If you are looking to save on your fines, £1.00 per game, see Dave Clark and he will let you have one of the remaining and most sort after St Ouen’s Club Polo Shirts at a very reasonable price.  Modelled below by one our ‘Current’ 1st Eleven Players.

 

                     

As you can see this is a most stylist garment that will stand test of time.  Machine washable anti-pill and hardly needs ironing, judging by all the single males.  This garment is the envy of most Jersey Cricket Clubs.  Something you will always feel comfortable in, especially when there are 10 of you out in Chambers.  So why wait, place your order now or you will only be disappointed (and fined every week!)

 

Apologies

 

To Rob T for originally spelling his surname with only one ‘e’ (now changed).  Thanks to Martin T, who sent the first email to swans@stouenscc.co.uk .

 

Out for 3 Weeks

 

·         During the 1st Eleven defeat at the hands of Caesareans, Paul ‘Sick Note’ Horton was up to his old tricks.  After an opening spell with the ball, which saw him wicket less, he turned at short third man only to pull the proverbial fetlock.

 

Pre-Season

 

·         Rob Tewkesbury did not make the first few indoor nets.  A source close to Rob revealed that he was having trouble with his right hand and had no strength in his grip.  Tewks later revealed that he had broken a bone in his hand whilst playing golf!  He found himself on the wrong fairway facing a four ball who wanted to tee off, embarrassed and under pressure he rushed the shot, missed the ball and buried the 6 iron in the lush turf shattering the bone.

 

·         All other players have reported fit and well after the winter.  Paul Horton completed a full football league and cup season without injury and is looking for the same during the summer.

 

Changes in Personnel

 

·         Alan Le Bihan is hanging up his boots for this year, when quizzed ‘I just want my weekends back… a couple with the missus and I could be back.’  ‘1st XI fines could seriously cripple me financially, just ask Tewks!’ See you next year Al !

 

·         Damien ‘Soapy’ Pears left Jersey earlier this year for to return to his native shores with the wife.  All the best for the future and thanks for entertaining us for a number of years at the expense of all the Division 1 Evening League and Division 2 Weekend League Bowlers.  They said he could bowl as well but we knew he could catch.

 

·         Jolly Hockey Sticks – Stuart Ramskill has moved on a ‘free’ transfer to Caesareans the 1st XI’s first opponents on Saturday 5th May.

Annual General Meeting – 21st March 2001

 

The 2001 St Ouen’s Cricket Club Annual General Meeting was held, as in most years, at the Tipsy Toad Town House and the most notable points to come out are shown below:

 

·         New Captains for the 2001 season Craig Douglas and Karl Moyse, 1st XI Captain and 2nd in command with Matt Tye and Ian Journeaux taking ‘control’ of the 2nd’s.

 

·         Paul Horton will continue in the Evening’s

 

·         No changes in the main Club Officials ‘will all those willing to stand step forward’ and Subscriptions,

 

·         For 2001 New Rules for the 1st XI and Cup Competitions.

 

·         The lack of Bouffant - Rob Tewkesbury skinny head.

 

and………

 

·         Dave Clark no longer holds a post within St Ouen’s.  After many years of loyal service to the Club, Dave is looking forward to a quite, pressure-free season and to enjoy a quite cider or two in the clubhouse whilst debating the merit’s of the rule changes and those Penalty Runs.

 

·         Latest betting for the leading penalty rules scorers this season, no surprise St Ouen's has the current joint favourites.
