Thieves strike at Woodham Mortimer Cricket Club

The future of thriving cricket club woodham mortimer has been put in some doubt after thieves stole the clubs tractor and gange mower between thursday 17th and friday 18th of september. The club prepares all it's own pitches and cannot operate without this equipment.

Club spokesman Steve Collis said 'this is a real body blow for us. We are a none profit making organisation that is trying to encourage as many people to play cricket as possible at a reasonable cost in these difficult times. All our efforts in the last two years, which have been really successfull, have now been put in doubt because of this loss. We will find it really hard financially to replace what was stolen, let alone all the time it will take people to find replacement items'

The police have been informed and if anyone has information on this incident please contact Maldon Police.

*Members: without a shadow of a doubt your club needs you more than ever now. The tractor and gange mower will cost a lot to replace and we don't really have the money. Any support that you can give will help to assure the future of your club. You will be updated ASAP Steve

We had a fantastic turn out for the club day on sunday which raised over £300 for Laura and the weather was good as well. Three mixed teams of men and women played two 20/20 games each with the emphasis on having fun. The atmosphere was amazing amongst all the members with a lot of laughter and the usual Woodham banter. Well done to all who bought food for the tea that ran all afternoon!!! The last game finished at about 8.15pm and was followed by a lovely Don Carver BBQ. Not many clubs can create this sort of atmosphere at such games and i'm proud to be a member of WMCC at anytime but especially on occasions like this, it was brilliant and makes you realise how lucky we all are. Just seeing all the members and guests joining in and having so much fun makes all the work throughout the season worthwhile. Steve
