Over the last two weeks we have been proud to run the inaugural Cambridgeshire Knight-Stokes Cup competition, bringing together state schools from across the county for two fantastic days of competitive cricket.

The standard on display was brilliant, with skill, teamwork and determination from every player who took part.

🏆 Boys’ Competition
🥇 @cambourne_vc 
🥈 Bottisham
🥉 Comberton

🏆 Girls’ Competition
🥇 @cambourne_vc 
🥈 St. Bede’s
🥉 Comberton

A special highlight of the girls’ competition was seeing so many players experience hardball cricket for the very first time, giving them the opportunity to build confidence, develop new skills and fall in love with the game 💙

🙏 A huge thank you to @leyscambridge for hosting,  and to every player, teacher, coach, official and volunteer who helped make the competition such a success.

👏 Congratulations to Cambourne, who’s boys and girls team now progress to the next round in Bury St Edmunds. We’ll be cheering you on every step of the way!💙

The Knight-Stokes cup is a new hard ball cricket competition for state schools, run by the MCC & MCC foundation, named after two of Englands greatest state educated cricketers. After rounds of local & regional competitions the boys’ and girls’ finals will be held on the main ground Lords the iconic @homeofcricket

Today, we’re proud to announce the fourth of our W Today, we’re proud to announce the fourth of our Winter Wonders winners! 🏆

👏 Our Unsung Hero Award goes to Jonathan Gadsby of @cambourne_cc 

While many important jobs at a cricket club can go unnoticed, Jonathan spent last winter quietly making a huge difference.

From leading negotiations with Cambourne Town Council to help secure the club’s future and keep cricket affordable for its members, to acting as the club’s Fixture Secretary and providing invaluable support behind the scenes, Jonathan is the steady hand helping the club move forward.

Volunteers like Jonathan are the heartbeat of grassroots cricket, and this award is a fitting recognition of everything he does.

👏 Congratulations, Jonathan, on becoming our Winter Wonders Unsung Hero!

Let’s celebrate the volunteers who keep our clubs thriving! 💙🏏

🌡️ The heat isn’t just affecting players... spare 🌡️ The heat isn’t just affecting players... spare a thought for your Grounds Team 👏

While clubs have been making decisions about training and junior matches in the heat of this week, our volunteer groundskeepers continue to work tirelessly to keep pitches safe and playable in incredibly tough conditions.

ECB Pitch Advisor Wayne Hardy’s key advice:
💧 Water deeply – soak pitches, don’t just wet the surface.
💧 Avoid rolling after light watering – it leads to crumbling pitches.
💧 Prioritise overnight watering (8–10 hours where possible).
💧 Clean used pitches before watering.
💧 Focus water where it’s needed most and use covers or sheets to retain moisture.

In extreme conditions, it may even be worth postponing lower-priority fixtures to give squares the recovery time they need.

A huge thank you to every Grounds Keeper putting in the hours behind the scenes. Your work keeps cricket going 💙

🏏 This weeks round up of some excellent County Age 🏏 This weeks round up of some excellent County Age Group weekend matches 

 ➡️ Girls U13 - 2xT20 victory over Bucks.
Game 1: Cambridgeshire batted first & scored freely, posting a total of 164-3. Captain Orla Coen (48) & Angelica Gupta (21) shared a 78-run partnership. Anna Bingham led the way with 3 wickets for 5 runs, with a brace each for Aashvi Acharya & Grace Francis. Debutant Anna Parsons, as a part of the U12 Talent Development Centre Programme took her first County Age Group wicket. The bowling was so dominant Bucks were skittled for 43. 👏

In Game 2: Bucks batted first and were bowled out for 86, with Anna Parsons and Imogen Riley leading the way, sharing 3 wickets each. Cambs wrapped the game up quickly reaching the total in the 14th over, with Amy Liversedge leading the way with 25* 💪

➡️ The U13 boys played away against Bucks at Brickhill Cricket Club . After losing the toss and fielding, Cambs did well to restrict Bucks to 205/7 off their 40 overs. Hugo A-V was the pick of the bowlers with 4-23 from 8 overs . 

Cambs set about the run chase in patient fashion and kept wickets in hand enabling us to accelerate in the last 10 overs. Captain Tommy U hit the winning runs from the first ball of the 40th over. Eshaan K (68) and Tom L (80) put on a match winning 100+ partnership 👍

➡️ Girls U14 
It was a tough day in the heat against a strong Middlesex team, it wasn’t the U14’s day but they take away a lot of learnings and will go again in two week’s time with a trip to the east coast to take on Norfolk 💙

➡️ U14 Boys
A tense finish! Cambridgeshire batted first on a sluggish pitch, to set a target of 178. Suffolk started cautiously, but with wickets in hand, they edged past the Cambridgeshire total in the final over 🏏

➡️ The U15 Boys played at Exning CC for a 50-over return rubber vs. Norfolk. The understrength visitors could only muster 92 all out having elected to bat, with Ben C, Josh H and Neel K taking two wickets each.  The reply was straightforward after a 79 opening partnership, Neel K scoring exactly 50, and Cambridgeshire winning by 8 wickets 🔥

🏆 The Coaching Award goes to Jonathan Powell of @cotoncricketclub 

As Head Coach of Coton CC, Jonathan recognised that a group of young players were on the verge of making the transition from junior cricket to Under 15 & potentially into adult cricket.

Determined to give them the best possible opportunity to succeed, Jonathan organised a winter coaching programme running from November through to March, including a specialist batting coach to help each of the players.

This has had a tremendous impact, both on player skill & confidence but also player retention and availability and has stabilised the junior section at Coton CC

Jonathan’s commitment, vision and dedication to developing young cricketers make him a truly deserving recipient of this award 👏
