Chigwell Cricket Club

The state of spin bowling in England — told through the eyes of three bowlers. With thanks to Jack Leach, Jack Carson and Farhan Ahmed nytimes.com/athletic/71662…

Theydon Bois lost to @chigwell_cc by 71 runs. CCC 238/4 (40) TBCC 167 all out (37.3) A good run out for the group, with the focus on getting overs in the legs and giving everyone the chance to contribute with bat and ball. A strong Chigwell side, and we wish them the best for the rest of the season. The Sunday side go again next week – against our local friends @southloughton_cc – looking to get their first win on the board. 🏏 #TheydonBoisCC 🏏

With that the 2025 Season is over. A wonderful year, capped by the quite brilliant Visakan Balakumar reaching 1,010 runs fo the season, averaging 53.16! We'll see you all for more cricket in 2026!

South Woodford 273/8 (40) Chigwell 151ao (30.5) The season finished with a chilly game against @southwoodfordcc. Batting first, they posted 273, 106* from Mahroof Ibrahim. Despite a second week in a row of heroics from @rossmct (67), Chigs went down to a sizable loss.

Chigwell 272/8 (40) Pacific 202/ao (31.1) The penultimate game of 2025, Chigs took on @PacificCricket, batting first and posting 278, an impressive 71 from @rossmct. In response, damage was done early by the bowlers, and a late batting show couldn't prevent our 70 run victory.
