Lovely day at the Gate. Playing on the pitch furthest away from the pavilion which turned out to have a bit of variable bounce but played ok on the whole. I won toss and decided to have a bat. Opened with Danny B and Sean Nesbitt against decent seam attack. Danny in imperious form and […]
Twickenham CC 3XI v Highgate CC 3XI: Match Report, 07/05/22 The 3XI’s opening of the 2022 campaign had all the hallmarks of the return to league cricket; an hour plus trek to SW London, a locked clubhouse, and a deck that showed discernible scars of slide tackles from the football season. Our top six’s Friday […]
The day got off to an absolute flyer when we won the toss. Many of the G6 fill ins were both confused and anxious as we have never experienced this. Skipper Spibey wisely chose to bat! Again us 6s confused and anxious!!! In his first moment of brilliance Our skipper said who wants to open […]
Relegations come in many forms, they can be the culmination of years of abject mediocrity (Norwich Championship to League 1 2009). Some relegations are the result of catastrophic loss of form (Norwich PL to Championship 2020), others come after spirited fights and a bit of bad luck but ultimately not enough good performances (Norwich PL […]

Indeed, training would have been starting next Sunday if we hadn’t been amidst this crisis. Sadly, it doesn’t look like we’ll be training together for […]
Finchley 146 for 2 in 20 overs. Highgate 148 for 1 in 18.1 overs A young Highgate u17’s eased to a comfortable win in the u17 Middlesex cup competition against Finchley. They were indebted to skipper Danny Blyghton who hit an undefeated 73 from 56 balls. It was a mature exhibition of controlled batting. Classy […]
Scorecard The 3s first home game of the season saw us making the trip to the quaintly named village of Botany Bay just outside Enfield and a slightly longer commute than in previous seasons when our home games had been played at Edmonton. I can safely say that the new facility is a massive improvement […]
