COLCHESTER AND EAST ESSEX CRICKET CLUB REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2025 ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE Charltable actlvltles 1st Xl Season Revlew151mon Fernandesl 2025 was a gre3t season obvlously wlnnSng the league. We have Bot a great group ol player5 In the 1st team and acros5 the club as a whole. Selectlon was deflnltely easler in 2025 than in previou5 year5 Imth a good group to select frorn. Obvlously we stlll want to keep addlng to that group with the righi player5. Obviously we want to back up our performance from last year wlth another srrong year in the league but I think anotheT target could bÈ the knockout competitlOn5, league cup and the national knockout. I have stepped down as captain and Joe MacGregor Is taklng over and after the season he had last year it seems pretty fltting that he takes the relns. With Joe having such a full on lob in London I think he will need as much help a5 Possible from the committee and managernent. My two years as captaln I was given plenty of job5 which, I would argue, fall outside the remlt ol the 1st team captain. On the whole I had enough tlme to do those things and I was happy enough to do them. Although with Joe being based In London there will be a lot that he can't do. I have been out of the loop recently havlng stepped down but I hope creating a club captain rol& is 80ing 3head 3nd this will help Joe masslvely. I thlnk we now have some good proce55e5 in place in terms of selectlons and mana8ing the club through Pitchero etc so I hope this wlll rnake Joe's life easier. Flnally, I hope that we manage to organi5e an overseas pro who can help Colchesier compete on a Saturday but also brlng a lot to the club throughout the w&ek as well. In recent year5 we have seen what havlng the right overseas can do for the club so I would really urge the committee to 8ive Joe &5 much help as they can to make this happen.

Despite some early challenges, the team remalned competitive throughout the season and stayed fSrmly in the promotSon race untll the c105ing stages of ihe campaign. The slde105t two garnes withln the flrst flve flxtures due to squad availability issues, and a small number of matche5 also ended in draws due to the unavailablllty of umplres. These factors ultimately proved costly in suth 3 tIEht promotlon race, and addressin8 them nexr season could make a si8nilicant dillerence. Despite these setback5, the team produced many strong perlorrnances across the season, winnlng 10 matches and demonstrating the depth and quallty within the squad.
COLCHESTER AND EAST ESSEX CRICKET CLU REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER Z02S Batting performances were a malor hlghllght. Subh8sh Perumal flnished as the leadlng run scorer with 530 runs, closely followed by Kavish Patil with 526 runs, who regularly provided strong starts at the top of the order, Seba5tlan Wheeler a150 played an important anchoring role in many games, contrlbuting 484 runs dur5ng the season. Dlllon Hatcher added 359 run5 while also contrlbutlnE Wlth the ball when required, and Ary8n Sh3rma, who joined mldway through the season, made an lrnmedlate Impact wlth 359 runs and several canslstent performances. The bowling unit also delivered several strong contrlbutions. Manith De S11va led the attack with 19 wickets and was always ready to bowl whenever required. Nlthish, who often took respon5ibllity wlth the new ball, claimed 18 wlckets. Jonty Ray, one ol the most prornising players in the squad, contributed with both bat and ball and finished wlth 17 wlckets, whlle sbhash Perum3131so SUPPOTted the bowllne attack with 13 wickets. Another major posStlve was the contribution of several young players stepping up into the 2nd Xl. Alfie Youngi Koby Hamllton-jones, Oscar Morton-morley and Austln Brook all contrlbuted across a number of games and showed that they are c3p8ble of competing at this level alon8slde more experienced players. The versatility wlthln the team w8s another Strength, Mfjth many players able to contrlbute wSth both bat and ball when required. Th15 Ilexlblllty help the side maintain balance throughout the season. One area identified for improvÈment Is flelding standards. While the team performed strongly wlth bat and ball, improving consistency In the field will be a key factor if the side is to convert more OPFK)rtunttles and push for promotion next sea50ll. Looking 3head to 2026, apw)Intlng a vice-captain would also help support leadership on the fleld when the captaln Is unavaSlable. It would also be beneficial if opportunities arise lor 1st Xl players to occasionally feature in the 2nd Xl, partlcularly to support and guide the youn8er players from the Under-IS, Under-17 and Under-19 age groups. Overall, finishing just three points away from promotion highlights the strong potential within the Squad. With improved 8v8ila6ility. better fielding Standards and the continued development ol our young playe, the 2nd Xl wlll be well p18ced to challenge strongly for promotlon next season. Captaln's closing note from 5ubhash.. I would Ilke to thank all players, volunteers, scorers and supporters who contrlbuted throughout the season. The commltment shown by both senior players and our younger members has been excellent, and with the talent and competltlon wlthln the squad. we are confldent ol pushing strongly for promotlon in the coming season. 3rd Xl Season Report 2025 saw hlghs and lows in a busy 3nd successful but ultlmately frustrating sea50n.

This is frustrating for all p18yers who had made themselves avallable, oppositloni ground5men and other admin¢strators from lea8ues and clubs. This said, there were some outstanding individual performances from young and Old, and there Is much posltlvlty lor what 2026 might hold.

Top scorer wa5 Srlmal M who only joined part way through and scored 445 runs, with an In£redlble 128 01137 balls, Austin 8 Scored a majestic 128 in 124 balls and Oscar M-M scored a well-crafted 105 in 125 deliverles. All three players looked at ease at the crease and gave real backbone to posting or chasing totals that mlghr othetwlse have been unachievable. ThÈre were many other notable Contributions, many of which might have been a small number of runs In total but parts of trutlal partnerships.

Sarvesh l and Amella B-C often starred wlth the ball, along with Charlie L, 2nd genuine pace came from a one off performance from Koby H-J, wlth Tomy A also bowling a'he8vy ball,.

Sirnilarlvt the 3rd Xl was skippered with falrness and wisdom by senior players - thanks go to lan B and Sachln P for their efforts on the pitch, with matches on several ¢¢taslons played at neutral grounds. which added to the level of chall&n8e. Everyone who represented the 3rd Xl wa5 glven good opportunSty with bat or ba11, and there wa5 much positivity amongst players who played for the tearn, not Iu5t themselves. Lookln8 forwards. 2026 wi11 be a crucial time for the 3rd Xl. It Is an opportunity to push for promotion, cernent p14ces Sn a more establlshed team. build an even stronger sense of team spirit and promote the development of rnore young players in 8 Eenulnely competitive league. Despite being Division 9, players from other teams rarely give away their wlckets cheaply, rarely drop c3tches that need to be caught, and rarely bowl overs lull of wides and no-t>a115, Matches stlll need to be won by well-earned runs, accurate bowllngj eamest field1n8 and sharp c8tching. Furthermore, It Is hoped that there wlll be genuine competition for startin8 places, partStularly wlth an influx of new younger players who are eli8ible lor senior Saturday cricket, and hopefully nÈw players from th& men's and women's squads who want more competitive cricket on a Saturday. It is irnportant that the club provldes support for ihe 1st te3m squad throu8h strength and depth in other elevens. Ongoing i55ue5 remain around a regular playing surface for the 3rd Xl.

Wlth the appolntment of Adam Derham we now have a clear structure in place for the corning season alon85ide Trudie, Emma and Nlck. Ben Marshall has kindly provided thls update for the under 13's. At the start of 2025 5ea50n we only had 8 Eames to play, We won 6 to top the league by 50 polnts. We lost a very close game by 6 runs at home to Wivenhoe. Where the team slightly lost their heads by belng scared of their opponents, and had one conceded by Tendering. Flrst game agalnst Brightlingsea saw u5 open the batting wlth 17113, with great combined scores from Riley Robb, Parth Gupta, Harry BR, R31e Kisakye and Jude Gee.

He'5 very good at encoura8ing the other plays if anyone's head drop. Pros to the season showed our clas5 In the fleld and with the ball. With most players bowling at least l over a game. Our bowling has shown that they work well as group and attack a5 one, Where I think the team lacks in the abillty to save their wicket.
