Enfield United Community Cricket Club

It is with a heavy heart that we share the sad news of the passing of Rob Turner, who passed away peacefully early Tuesday morning.
Rob was a truly remarkable person whose kindness, generosity, and unwavering support for others touched the lives of so many. He was someone who always stood up for the underdog and never hesitated to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. His compassion and selflessness earned him the respect and admiration of all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Rob was a proud and loyal member of the Enfield family for more than 50 years. He first joined the club in 1963 and went on to play more than 500 games, leaving an enduring legacy both on and off the field. His dedication, commitment, and passion for the club made him a cherished teammate, mentor, and friend, and his contribution to Enfield will never be forgotten.

On behalf of everyone at Enfield, we extend our deepest and most heartfelt condolences to Rob's family, friends, and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you mourn the loss of a truly wonderful man.

Rest in peace, Rob. Your kindness, loyalty, and the difference you made in the lives of so many will always be remembered.

JUST LIKE THAT the Junior season draws to a close.

A super successful season across all grades, some amazing individual and team performances. Our U12s stepping up out of U10s only lost 2 matches for the season, and our U14's only dropped the 1 match.

Our U10s who had their end of season awards night with our Cricket Blast got better and better each game.

Unfortuantely though, our 12s ran into a rampant Westies last night, to fall 13 runs short in their Semi.

In a year that has been so affected by rain (wet and heat), it's somewhat humerous that our 14s defending 214 today, were unable to get away due to rain, ending their season.

Thank you to all the parents, supporters and coaches that helped during the season - community clubs rely on that support to operate.

Special shout out to Daniel Hancock (U10s), Vishal Bhatt (U12s) and Shoeb Sunasra (U14s) for their unwavering support and effort.

Now we turn out attention to the Senior Mens season..

Cheers,
Bedge ❤

GOOD LUCK to our U12 side who tonight tackle Salisbury West in the Semi Final at home.

It's been a great season (albeit interupted with weather) for our 12s with a number coming up from U10s this year, and a few that had a tough year last season maturing and finding their place.

DAY ONE OF THE U14 SEMI FINAL is in the bank. Heading to Salisbury West Abdullah won the toss and decided to have a bat.

The side was impacted leading into the day with Imran (Ramadan), Henry (Sick), Dhyan (Study) and Adnan (Injured) all ruled out.

Still we soldiered on, Amit was pushed to the top of the order and had an immediate impact and he and Abdullah took 40 from the opening 4 overs.

The pair shared a 71 run stand before Abdullah was beaten by a good nut.

Caleb + Prab came and went quickly, Amit reached 50 and retired, and we began looking little shaky before Arth & Ansh knuckled down and got to work on another healthy partnership. 78 runs added before Arth was on his way.

Patrick joined Ansh, as Ansh worked towards his first ever 50, and played a pivotal supporting role. Ansh retired, Gurnoor dismissed for 1 and when Patrick had left another 40 had been added and we were 196.

Nihir swung the bat added valuable runs, young Reyansh from U12 stuck around at the crease allowing the bigger boys to keep the runs ticking over, eventually day ending with 214 on the board.

Great team orientated innings with contributions and key partnerships all the way through.

THE ROAD TO REDEMPTION begins this weekend when our 14s travel to tackle the mighty cricket factory of Salisbury West.

After falling short last year in the Grand Final to a powerhouse Eyre Royals side, our U14's find themselves once again at the pointy end of the season, completing a stellar minor round only dropping one match to qualify for the Semi Finals, and a crack at going one better than last year.
