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.

Said his 1st word at 1.
BMX mad by 11.
Suspended from school at 13 (&14&15)
Got an English GCSE at 20.
But then he started pushing himself, achieving things he never thought possible (like getting a 12 week ban)
Sure, he was born in Devizes; BUT HE WAS MADE AT THE CANNINGS.

RIP Lottie Rapson.
The Rapsons have been a huge part of BCCC and Lottie (centre) was an inspiration for a lot of the club’s fundraising.
We are truly sorry to hear of Lottie’s passing and our thoughts are with all of the family ❤️

Yep you can quit your gossiping - it’s official.
Bishops Cannings will be competing in Div 6 in the WCCL next season.
Founded in 1988, 2022 will be the first time BCCC have ever competed in a Saturday league for men’s cricket.

In 1988 BCCC was founded by a few mates in the pub and has since been a social side with a booming youth section.
Today will be the first time the men’s side have played in a county-wide competition as we host Fonthill Park in the Wiltshire Wallop.
This one’s for Uncle Ed!

Huge congrats to the skipper who has just touched down in Australia for another summer of cricket.
Stan’s out there searching for an overseas and keeping himself fit for Div 3 next season. He’s playing for Williamstown Imps in Melbourne.
We love you mate - go well. ❤️

Boys did good.
Bowled Swindon Nalgo out for 144, chased with four to spare with 4 for the skipper.
After being 60-odd/6, Matt Lever and Cheesy put on a mega partnership to see us home.

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.

in 2017, Shannon Gabriel played the most stupid cricket shot of all-time.

Get in!!! What a win. Got bowled out for 187 from about 43 overs.
In return, a special spell from Callum Barnes, opening the bowling down the slope today in absence of the skipper, and taking a sublime 6/24 - his first 5bag for the club.
They finished a/o for 70.

Throwback to that time vice-skip John Bramwell went to the Rose Bowl as a full kit wanker dressed in Tom’s Hampshire gear and made some young lad’s day by posing for a picture with him.

Well, well, well. Where to begin at incredibly special day at Spaniels Bridge.
Batted first, put on 338, with super Phil Alsop recording 167 (more on that later) and Tommy 121, putting 285 on for the first pole.
I’m return, Sherston Magna all out on 106, with Brammers taking 5.

A very special win yesterday for the boys in a rain-affected game.
Batted first, 210/4 from 34 overs.
Nalgo finished 129/7 from 20, 35 runs short of their revised D/L target.
Still third but little in it at the top of the table. 💥💥💥

10 first-class tons for Tom - 6 of which have been since he joined Sussex last summer.
One hell of a statement to the selectors at BCCC. The last time he was picked was just over two years ago on a Sunday at Sutton Benger - we suspect his agent will be on the phone to Stan.

Proper tight affair. Finished 198/9 with Stan Alsop hitting 60-odd. They finished 152/9, with 3 wickets from our Aussie star Azza, Lever and 2 from Bram.
Azza (The Horn) also took an absolute stunner at cover that will be talked about at BCCC for years.
So good to be back. 💥

What a game and what a day up the bridge. We finished 204/7 from our 45, and a valiant effort in the field saw them all out for 150-odd.

Time to formally introduce Aaron “The Horn” Horsburgh.
On Stan’s travels, the skipper stayed within Azza’s family abode - and now the Alsops are returning the favour.
Just 18-years-old, this fine young man has slotted right in. We’re very grateful to have him for the summer.

Another great day for Tom ‘Alsop’, another dark day for BCCC.
After years of Stan lobbying with offers of doner kebabs, Malboro Golds and black trainers, he’s only gone and penned a deal with Sussex.
Some of the lads will be at the Oval tomorrow reminding him of his roots.
We are delighted to announce the permanent signing of Tom Alsop. 🙌
Having initially joined on a temporary basis, Tom will become a permanent member of the squad once his current loan deal concludes. 🤝
Looking forward to the rest of the season and beyond, Tom. 🌟
