beautiful V￿lage at Boughton Aluph. a few miles North of Ashford in

major Fyqecl to replace our uicket pavilion. Fund raising has been
affected since the pandemic with the availability of capital grants, e.g.
from Sport England. and other donations, all highly impacted. This bd to
the need to look again at our plans and to re-submrt our planning
application, whith has now be8n apwoved by Ashford Borough Council.
A project management team was appointed to overse8 the woject

In 2025 the Sunday team managed lo gain promotion in the Kent County

East. We had some good wins over some Str￿ sydes, and only bNo
k)sses induding a loss to East Langdon who were the runaway league
winners. 2026 sees us promoted to Dtvision Three East and fa¢e a few
new teams and sets up a few juicy, local derbiès. The club is looking to
push the 'competitive' league sid8 to try and FfOVKle the senior players
with a great environment to come and enjoy their crickeL
In addition, there were several frienthies played ￿ a Sunday. often
alongside a league match showing that there is plenty of availabilty giving
us the opts'on to play t￿￿ games. This is mainty down to the excellent
keenness of the club's junior players wantiThJ to make that step up and
enjoy senior (xi(*eL In SurKlay friendlies all jUn￿r players are encouraged
and involved in the game. to gtve them the experience that they may need
to push into the senior league team. But the main emFthasis with the
fn'endty Xl is enjoymert and there were plenty of good days had,
regardless of results.
Our Ground Staff volunteern have, again. excelled. Caring for the Village
Green (BowJhton Lees) and the FAaying area on it is one of the Club's
greatest commrlnients, both in temis of its agreements with the Parish
Council and to WOVKJe a qualty environment for playiNJ crickeL The Club
has made considerable investments not jusl in monetary teThs. acquiring
and maintaining essential machinery, and, where required, paying outside
contractors, but also in the time commrtment from Club members.
Th8 major expenditure on moss and weed Control treatment and work
from outside contractors with specialist equipment has been continued
and the qualty of the playing surface conts'nues to improve.

The ￿aYIng season runs from midAws1 to late September and, with
matches for adutts. Under-16s, Under-13s and Under-1 Is all taking place,
plus practice prtches. the playing square is fulty used. Preparation of
Fmtches requires muttiple operations of mowng, scarifying. watèriro and
rolling, arKI it is a baLancing acl to cary out these tasks in a timely manner
when adjacent prtcTrEs might be required for comFettiive games.
Nevertheless, feedbad( from players during the season on the stste of
