OGCC’s very own Lara Barrett has spent the week on tour as a Sports Psychologist for the England Visually Impaired team. The six match series against India meant that Lara travelled to Leamington CC (ODI), Wolverhampton CC (ODI), The Kia Oval (T20), Arundel Castle (ODI) and a T20 double header also at Arundel Castle.
OGCC would like to thank all those that donated bottles and came to visit the Magna Carta tombola. Donna Wells, Bruce Aplin, Jane Brown, Kevin Brown and Betts Cross delivered a superb team effort that helped to raise a fantastic £565 for the club.

OGCC won a real humdinger vs Old Basing - by 9 runs
OGCC batted first and scored well. Great improvement at running byes, overthrows, quick singles (especially Oliver Groslin). There were some fantastic boundaries from Monty McCart, Freddy Wallis (2 awesome blows), Daniel Corfield, Thomas Orange, and Heston Gardiner (smashing a very high full toss over cover).
The U9A team ventured into deepest Hampshire yesterday to compete in the U9 Festival at historic Hambledon Cricket Club.
