Before this match report begins in earnest, please spare a thought for the second half of Radcox’s sandwich, a pre-game casualty of a crafty sea gull. In keeping with this amusing interlude, life in the Surrey Downs League got off to an interesting start as Hill’s curtain raiser was switched to Ewell Castle School in… Continue reading 04/05/2024 – May the Fourth Be With Stu – Park Hill CC vs Salfolds 4s (League Match)
Notes of linseed oil and buried, dormant meal deals left to fester in cricket bags wafted across the vibrant green pitches at Old Haileyburians on the official curtain raiser of the season. It was unnervingly simple to cobble together an 11 for the day (Spond was an inspired call), and debutant Simcox was a welcome… Continue reading April showers averted in nail-biting finale – 27/04/24 – Park Hill CC vs Ewell 3rd XI – 25 over
Match Report: Richard Goldsborough Twas a gloomy Sunday afternoon as the merry men of Park Hill travelled to the what-would-be picturesque ground of Westcott CC for a reduced 30 over game, due to the inclement weatherm Hill lost the toss and had the rare treat of batting first. Goldsbrough and Jeavons opened up and saw… Continue reading 30/07/23 – Park Kyle with another Sunday win
Match Report: Dave Stupples After last week’s fixture wash out and one of the wettest July’s on record Park Hill players could be forgiven for wanting to jet off for sunnier climes. Some persistent pestering and badgering on the club Whatsapp group eventually yielded a full complement of players, despite the notable absences of the… Continue reading 29/07/2023-Park Hill buckle up for turbulence with Blue Wings
With wind speeds in excess of Hill's quickest bowling and heavy rainfall in the build up to the game, doubts abounded as to whether Hill would have the opportunity to extend their winning streak. The visiting captain's enthusiasm and punctuality in calling up for a morning pitch report was not matched by his errant charges,… Continue reading 15/07/23 – Mallu You Believe It?
Another near-subcontinental outfield was the inevitable result of the hottest June on record, as Hill made the journey over to West Byfleet looking to make it 4 wins on the bounce. With a youthful XI featuring no less than 4 teenagers and the absence of regular top order batsmen, the decision to insert the opposition… Continue reading 01/07/23 – Warriors Vanquish By Vithlani’s Stand
Grammarian: a person who studies and writes about grammar. The above definition will problematize the events of the toss: no, of course this was lost (again). However, given that the visitors to Fortress Ruxley Lane had spent the previous 5 minutes pleading vociferously against enforcing the leg-side ruling and then still decided to have a… Continue reading 24/06/23 – Hill Left Wide-eyed In Run Fest Vs SinjunGrammarians

By Will Chipperton The now-customary scramble for players carried on until Saturday morning as holidays and self-isolation continue to ravage our membership. Keen to avoid last week’s fate of playing with 10 against (then) league leaders, we managed to field 11 players in our clash against second placed Sutton Challengers. The captain regrettably won the… Continue reading Sat Match Report – ‘Challengers See Off Hill In Saturday’s Scorching Heat’. 17/7/21 –Sutton Challengers Vs Park Hill
Report by: Alex Mackay In contrast to our regular Saturday skipper’s situation, we were very much hoping for a positive result which would lead to a potential promotion push. Turning up to Tudor Drive with the standard wet weather, with only 10 players available, it is safe to say not all were keen to get… Continue reading Sat Match Report – ‘Playing when the ‘Chips’ are down’. 04/7/21 – AMY Vs Park Hill
