1977 and 1978 Reviews
On the Articles menu there are now excerpts from reviews of the
1977 and
1978
seasons, written by Tom Gray in his usual amusing style. Albert Chapman's widow recently found the original
documents and kindly sent them to Roy Storey.

1976 Photos
There are some additional photos from 1976 in the 1921-1990 Gallery. These were brought over by Ian
& Janine George who recently paid their first visit to the UK for 28 years. Ian, from Australia, was
introduced to the club by Peter Wright and played for Shenfield during the mid-seventies. Time has been very
kind to Ian & Janine, but not to the photos! However, those of a certain age will still, no doubt,
recognise the players.

Shenfield Success
Shenfield won the Jack Leiper Trophy at the Woodford Wells 6s competition. The team consisted of Robert
Wickes as Captain, plus Ryan Lugg, Tom Austin, Jon Walter, Matt Weaver, Jon Doel and Andre Maddocks. After
successfully negotiating the group stage against Old Parks, a Woodford Wells Australian 6, Old Forresters
and Woodford Wells Colts we overcame Woodford Green in the semi-final and the mighty Wanstead in the final
to put our name on the trophy.

Another New Record Wicket Stand

Weaver. This beat the previous record of 275 by S Paulsen and M Humphreys in 2003.

New Record Wicket Stand
Shenfield beat Ilford to go through to the 2nd round of the Evening Standard Trophy. In this
high-scoring match the 3rd wicket partnership of 200 by D Hazle and J Walter beat the previous record of 175
by P Bird and G Cunningham in 1995. This partnership of 200 is just 2 runs short of the Evening Standard's
all-time 3rd wicket stand record of 202.
The match aggregate of 654 runs beats the existing all-time record of 627 runs between High Wycombe and
Teddington in 2002.

Play‑Cricket
The Match Results page now contains links, for all three League teams, to the full scorecards on
Play-Cricket. It is quite a long process to get the scorecards onto the Play-Cricket site, but they will
usually be available for viewing within 24 hours of the match. Please be aware that for new players' names
to be featured on the scorecards we have to apply online for League registration and this process can take a
few days to complete. If we are not advised of new players well before a match, those players are likely to
appear on the scorecard as "Unsure", this being the only alternative. We will endeavour to go back
and enter the names for late registrations, so that the relevant players' statistics are accurate, but
cannot guarantee to do this because after a few days the results get locked and are unavailable for editing.

Dates of Photos Still Uncertain!
Some photos have been removed from the 1991-2003 Gallery and placed in the 1921-1990 Gallery. The pack
the photos were in was labelled President's Day 1996 so that's why they were placed for that year in the
Gallery. Later, they were thought to be from 1994 because of a certain person's waistline. Now, because
another person couldn't possibly have looked that young in 1994, they are thought to have been taken in 1990
and, apparently, not at a President's Day match! These photos will not be moved, re-labelled, re-named and
re-linked again unless incontrovertible proof of the correct year is provided by an accredited anorak!

Dates of Photos Uncertain!
In the 1991-2003 Gallery, the 1996 President's Day pictures are now shown as being from 1994. This
change is in response to scientific evidence concerning a certain person's waistline! It's even possible
they were taken in 1993. If you can be certain of the year, please
let us
know.

Old Photos Enhanced
Some of the old club photos on display in the pavilion were in a very poor state. On learning of this,
Phil Robins (former Shenfield player, now living in Adelaide) suggested that the photos be re-photographed
before they got any worse. He put us in touch with Richard Burch of
R2Digital, via Brentwood Photographic Club, and Richard has worked on 17 of the worst pictures and
produced prints which are a considerable improvement on the originals. These will shortly be framed and hung
in the pavilion.
The new images have been scanned and put on this website in place of the originals. Some are remarkably
different; others may not appear so very different because they had previously been digitally enhanced. We
are most grateful to Phil for his useful suggestion, also for his significant contribution towards the cost.

New Website Design
The site has been re-designed to have what we hope is a more professional appearance. If you spot any
errors, or broken links, please
let us know.
The domain name (website address) has also changed. This is because the registration of the old one is
expiring soon, and rather than renew it, we felt we may as well go for a simpler one.
We are also using a new webhost, because our existing one does not allow sufficient storage space for our
needs.
The work on images is not yet complete. Some previously unpublished photos have been found and some better
quality versions of ones already on the site have become available but there has not yet been time to
include these. There will be a notice on this page, probably in two to three weeks time, when the galleries
are considered complete.
There are two photos dated 1952, taken on the day of Vince Callender's last match for Shenfield. We have
reason to believe the photos must actually have been taken several years later. Take a look, and if you know
the correct year please let us know.
The Hit Counter has been started at the number of hits recorded on the old site up to 22nd January.
The old site will continue to be available until the middle of April, but will not be updated.
