Owls on top form



Wrecclesham Owls enjoyed an excellent Christmas party at the Millers Kitchen in Farnham as they toasted their recent on and off field successes.

The Owls boasted an unheralded 39 person guest list and the evening certainly didn't disappoint.

It was a great illusrtation of how far the club have come in recent years as it is clear that the social aspect of the club is as successful as ever.

With all the lads looking extremely dapper, a special mention to bowling cup winners Graeme Larby and Leo Jack Carter who both looked great and it must be said that the ladies scrubbed up rather well too!

With a good few drinks consumed (Badshot Lea, who had hired the place out the week before, were 'out drunk' by about 9pm)and the banter flowing it was a perfect pre Christmas evening and will no doubt whet peoples appetites for next season.

Well done to those of you who won a trophy (see photo above and details on the right hand side) and thanks to all who attended, it is much appreciated.

A special mention goes to our sponsors Craig and Laura Nicholls whose attendance was most welcome and we all hope that you enjoyed the evening and thank you for your support.

Next up in the Owls social calendar is the start of winter nets (see details on the right hand side) and after that we have the pre season social to look forward to, details of which will as ever be posted on the blog.

It was great to see everyone in such good spirits, especially James Merryweather who certainly lived up the 'Merry' part of his name! and I look forward to seeing you all at nets if not before.

It might be nearly Christmas but the Owls know what that really means.. The cricket season is getting ever nearer!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Great night, and a crakcing effort with the turnout. Am even now so looking forward to cricket season, and with nets starting in less than 2 months am starting to get a little excited!

Cracking season, cracking christmas party, cracking bunch of lads/wags.

Already very excited about the new season. Bring on the continued unbeaten run.

Joe - Unprecedented form from a Wrecclesham captain. A credit to the club mate.

Awesome night! Great laugh! Fantastic work Joe. Getting that room to ourselves was absolutely brilliant. Quite nice to hear from the staff that we were more welcome than Badshot Lea - always a first time! No mention in the blog about Spoons' mammoth speech! Never seen a bigger rush for the toilet when it finished!
