Oundle Town Cricket Club has continued it’s superb start to the new season. This weekend saw wins for the Sat 1st & 2nd XI’s, Sun 1st XI, U11A & U11B’s.

Police Investigation at Milton Road!

Life at Milton Road took a dramatic twist this weekend when the local constabulary were urgently called to the Saturday 1st XI match against Irchester.
Tea-time brought an unexpected twist to proceedings and scuffles broke out between the two teams when accusations of foul play were followed by anxiety.It soon became apparent that a scandal of epic [...]

Riddler’s Tiddlers!

Let it not be said that O.T.C.C. are afraid to play juniors in senior teams. Having seen the selected team in Division 11 of the Northants League, I can honestly say that the ‘Happy Meal’ Mob are back! With 7 players being selected with a combined age of less than 100 years. Development of junior [...]

Hubble, Bubble, Toil and definitely TROUBLE!

It has come to the attention of ‘View from the Boundary’ that although the two teams of young tourists were impeccably behaved on tour, some of our more senior members disgraced themselves.

It was certainly a privilege to be involved in the 2nd [...]

Mercurial Merwe Returns.

It has become clear that [...]

You could cut the atmosphere with a knife, there was an intensity of epic proportions, the strain of the impending season was beginning to tell- and then we managed to get the  pavilion door open!
The meeting of the Junior Committee this evening at Milton Road, was the first meeting time since the [...]

Compo loosening his bowling arm!
Thurs 19th April 2007.
Denis Compton, stalwart of Oundle Town Cricket Club has today announced his retirement from League Cricket for Oundle Town. In the last few seasons Compo (as he is affectionately known ) has been dogged by injury. If there is a part of his anatomy that has not been [...]
