The 2011 Thames Valley League fixtures for our three Saturday league sides have been published and are now available to view on the website.

The 1st XI will start their Division 3B campaign under new captain Ben Millar with a trip to face Tring Park 2nds who were relegated last season. The season finishes with another tip to a recently relegated club with a visit to Kew 2s while the local derbies against Wooburn Narkovians are on the 18th June and 20th August respectively.

New 2nd XI captain Jake Richardson will start the season with a tough looking fixture against relegated Farnham Royal 2s and ends it with a home clash with local rivals Maidenhead and Bray 3s. The much anticipated games with Marlow Park's 1st XI are on the 14th May and 16th July.

The 3rd XI have a repeat of last year's opening fixture with a home clash against Marlow 3s. New fixtures for them this year are all against London area clubs. These are relegated sides from 8B NPL Teddington 3s and Hillingdon Manor 3s and against league newcomers Eastcote 4s.

Indoor Cricket starts this weekend for Cookham Dean with fixtures against Caversham and Redingensians and Falkland. Games take place on Sunday evenings at Bradfield and we have fixtures usually every two weeks or so.

A Cookham Dean squad crashed out of the group stages in the Windsor 6s at Home Park on Friday afternoon. The Cookham side was made up of Rory Millar, Jonathan Gay, Mark Fish, Patrick Castleden, Oliver Freeman and Isaac Richardson. The Dean were drawn in a strong group against Chesham, who included Kenya bowler Peter Ongonodo in their ranks, and 'The Throwbacks', a side made up mostly of Windsor 1st team players dressed in cricket attire of the 70s and 80s.

In the first game Cookham made 48 and lost in the first over to Chesham. The 2nd game saw Ollie Freeman take a hat-trick with the first three balls of the match against Throwbacks, who posted 45. Cookham chased this down in the last over thanks mainly to Rory Millar and Patrick Castleden.

The second round of matches against the same opposition saw Cookham on the receiving end of hammerings as Chesham posted 79 and 80 respectively. In each game Cookham stuttered to scores of around 45-50 as they failed to make the semi finals stage.

The club enjoyed an outstanding weekend as all five senior sides picked up wins.

The 1st XI travelled to Wokingham and crushed a severely depleted Wokingham 2s as they picked up a 161 run win. Ben Millar made 86 while Rory Millar and Tom Bibby continued their fine seasons with scores in the 40s as Cookham racked up 261-4. In reply Wokingham were skittled for 100 with only their number 9 making any sort of contribution with 39. Isaac Richardson the pick of the bowlers with 4 wickets on his first team debut.

The 2nds eased their relegation worries with a vital two wicket win over Kew 3s. Kew made 169 all out with Aaron O'Donoghue taking four wickets and Sav Gandesha claiming three. In reply, George Edlin helped get the Dean off to a flyer with 36. After a middle order collapse, Andy Murdoch played a vital innings. He made 50 not out to guide his side home with O'Donoghue who made a quick-fire 17 not out.

The 3rds moved up to 4th place in Division 9B as they won by 37 runs against fellow mid-table side Hayes 4s. Cookham lost the toss and were inserted on a tricky wicket, collapsing to 120 all out after being 100-3. Will McCreery top scored with 38. In reply, Hayes were skittled out for 83, McCreery taking four wickets with his off-spin, Alex Reynolds taking three top order wickets and Oli Dandridge taking two wickets.

The Sunday 1sts crushed Hurley in an absolute mis-match at Ricketts Field. In a game reduced to 35 overs, Cookham smashed their way to 231-4. Patrick Castleden continued his incredible Sunday form with 97 and Oli Dandridge made his first senior 50 as he helped himself to 75 not out. In reply, Hurley's batsman had no reply to Cookham's young seam attack as I. Richardson took three wickets, Greg Davis four and first senior wickets for Ben Green and Henry McCreery.

The Sunday 2s had their game reduced to 30 overs due to rain and Frieth posted an imposing 188-3 from their allocated overs. In reply, James Marshall made 71 but Cookham began to slip behind the rate before Jonathan Gay struck a few lusty blows in a quick 29. This was hugely overshadowed by Adam Sergeant who smashed four 6s in an amazing innings of 33 from 8 balls that saw Cookham home by six wickets with an over to spare.
