We’ve done it! 💥
Our W puts us 26 points ahead of Winsley 2s which all but confirms our promotion to Div 3 next season. Back-to-back promotions after jumping Div 5 is a huge achievement and we’re absolutely elated.
One left: a title-decider at Cannings vs Hinton Charterhouse.
Get in there!!! 🚨
71/6 and we managed to put on 222/9 from our 39 overs. Superb knocks from Cal (58), Griff (42) and Paget (35* from 16 balls).
In reply Purton scored 149/7, with John Bramwell taking 4/12.
3 to go, table ridiculously tight at the top. You fooookin Cannings
Scorcher inbound at Spaniels Bridge as we take on Purton 2s at the home of cricket.
Couple changes as we welcome back Brammers and Dougie.
1pm start, rumours of a BBQ afterwards…
Cmon you Cannings!!
Wow what a game. Missing a handful and chasing 248, we knocked it off 2 down with 9 overs to spare. Joycey, Whit and Lever all hitting 50s. Get in there!!!! 3/3.
Yes!!!!!!!
Phenomenal effort in the field as Beehive are all out for 111, meaning BCCC win by 87 runs.
Three-fors for Phil and Bram, and an unbelievable opening bowling display from Glover and Cheesy.
MOTM goes to the Rhinestoned Cowboy, vital 26* and three grabs stood up.
Sure Ben Foakes has had a tough week, but let's end this “best keeper in the world” nonsense.
That would of course be our own specialist gloveman, Charlie Paget, and he’s worth his weight in gold (the chemical element, not the biscuits).
He’s our Rhinestoned Cowboy. ❤️
Here we goooo! 🚨
Our @WCCLCricket Division 4 campaign gets underway tomorrow, featuring a lovely away trip to @HintonCCC. Fingers crossed it stays dry.
Come down and support the boys.
Here’s how we’re lining up:
This will be the first #GuinnessSixNations since the passing of Eddie Butler and it’s going to be strange and rather sad not hearing his voice on our screens again 😥
🚨 Fixtures are out for the 2023 season!🚨
We will be competing in Division 4 next campaign.
The BCCC faithful will be licking their lips at the prospect of some of these away days. Fear not, only 133 more sleeps until the festivities begin.
Here’s the fixture list in full:

Of fluctuating fortunes, fragile friendships and the worst of media
This is a photo of Adam Gilchrist after scoring a Test ton. Doesn't look like much of a celebration and, in his own words, this was the first time he cried on a cricket field. But why? There's a story.
In dedication to the King of Cannings, the pavilion has now been renamed the Ed Davies Pavilion. ❤️❤️❤️
None of this would be possible without Edders giving up half of his free time for us, and he’s also responsible for propping up all of our averages with his green-tops.
