01/08/26 – “A Tale of Two Partnerships” – Park Hill vs Leatherhead CC 4th XI (Away – League Match)
To paraphrase a certain writer 'it was the worst of times, it was the best of times'... 6pm on Friday evening, we have 8 heroes signed up. Despite whatsapping virtually every club member in one way, shape or form, nobody was biting and we gloomily resigned ourselves to 'fulfilling the fixture' with no real prospect… Continue reading 01/08/26 – “A Tale of Two Partnerships” – Park Hill vs Leatherhead CC 4th XI (Away – League Match)

The first moment of note for the 2026 season was the realisation of Srivastava’s New Year’s Resolution: first man at the scene and 15 minutes before the meet time – please do not adjust your screens! Donald Trump’s foreign policy had put paid to his plans to head over to the Middle East on business;… Continue reading 02/05/26 – “Put the Game to Bed(dington) – Unfortunate Abandonment Outcome Favours Village” – Park Hill vs Beddington Village (Away– League Match)
06/09/25 – Park Hill vs Sutton 5s (Division 4 Cup Final) “Sutton For Punishment – Late Drama Sees Grandstand Finish”
A faultless season reached it denouement with the division’s first and second placed sides competing for cup glory. Hill boasted a 2-0 lead going into the game, owing to their previous victory and ensuing title win. In a one-off, winner takes all clash at the home of cricket, would Sutton exact their revenge?

27/07/25 – “Limp Oxted Batting Display Sees Hill Prevail” – Park Hill vs Oxted & Limpsfield 4s (League Match)
A youthful Hill side hosted the team who had arguably provided this season’s sternest examination to date. Five colts, including league debuts for two Spellings, featured in the team as the Surrey Downs League continues to allow Hill to blood youngsters! The Oxted skipper won the toss and elected to bat, once again removing the… Continue reading 27/07/25 – “Limp Oxted Batting Display Sees Hill Prevail” – Park Hill vs Oxted & Limpsfield 4s (League Match)
05/07/25 – “Hill’s Holmbury Odyssey” – Park Hill CC vs Leatherhead 4s (League Match)
Nominally designated as a 'home' game for Leatherhead, the leafy village of Holmbury St Martin lies a mere 10 miles from Leatherhead! The sign for the ground was neatly camouflaged on the hairpin bend that climbed at a 45° incline. The steep ascent ought to have been accompanied by the Jurassic Park theme, as Hill's… Continue reading 05/07/25 – “Hill’s Holmbury Odyssey” – Park Hill CC vs Leatherhead 4s (League Match)
28/06/25 – “Horsley Return to Send – er… Empty Handed” – Park Hill CC vs Horsley & Send 3s (League Match)
It was a toss that neither captain particularly wanted to win; it would be far easier to break the news to unruly teammates that they would need to toil in the sun if choice was removed from the matter. Having won the toss, Chipperton elected to insert the opposition with the hope of making early… Continue reading 28/06/25 – “Horsley Return to Send – er… Empty Handed” – Park Hill CC vs Horsley & Send 3s (League Match)
21/06/2025 -“Chipper’s Ton Sees Off Tadworth” – Park Hill vs Tadworth 3s (Cup)
After some mid-week Spond Hokey Cokey - during which Hill oscillated between 13 and 9 players - the match day XI was eventually confirmed by 10:45 ahead of what could have been a banana-skin cup tie at Tadworth. With a smattering of big names such as Mackay (coincidently triggered at the earliest opportunity at Tadworth… Continue reading 21/06/2025 -“Chipper’s Ton Sees Off Tadworth” – Park Hill vs Tadworth 3s (Cup)
27/07/24 – “Catch me if you can” – Park Hill CC vs vs Nutfield CC (League Match)

With a lovely club house consisting of a scorer’s box, a fantastic balcony with views and a nice little bar area, we were… Continue reading 27/07/24 – “Catch me if you can” – Park Hill CC vs vs Nutfield CC (League Match)
13/07/24 – “A hero is (almost) Bawn” – Park Hill CC vs South Nutfield 3s (League Match)
After stepping up at late notice to ensure Hill fielded an 11 rather than 10, the pre-match script already had Bawn penned as the hero. Would he go on to fit the billing? After winning the toss, Chipperton elected to insert the opposition and the plan seemed to have been an inspired one in the… Continue reading 13/07/24 – “A hero is (almost) Bawn” – Park Hill CC vs South Nutfield 3s (League Match)
