In the 60s, 70s and 80s, as skipper, I brought a wandering side to Henfield as a Sunday First XI fixture. We were Boston Ramblers and I recall a club photo adorning your Clubhouse wall depicting the two teams, circa 1980.
I stumbled across your excellent website by chance and thought you may like to know how much we enjoyed our games against you and appreciated the hospitality shown to us over many seasons. Alas with the advent of League cricket there was little room for Wandering sides and Boston Ramblers finally called it a day many years ago.A prominent member of our side in those days was Tony Biggs, ex Arsenal 1950s, who now lives near Eastbourne.
We still keep in touch and a nice day out for us in the coming season would be to drive out to Henfield with our wives to watch a first team game - you never know there may be somebody old enough to remember us. Might even be able to persuade one or two of the other ex players to come along. Could I ask you to send me a fixture card for the coming season and we can select a date - hope it's not too much trouble.In those days it was a club rule that no-one left our hosts' bar before 11 o'clock unless he had a very good reason. It cemented many a fixture and we may be remembered for that reason alone.
Best wishes for the season

Henfield CC Replies: Peter,

Many thanks for your entry on the Guestbook. Please do come and visit us, we'd be delighted to see you. I have removed your name and address from your posting simply because it is probably best to keep that information out of the public domain, but if any club member would like to get in touch, it has been saved offsite.

I've just discovered ths site and saw the records of my father, Tony (AE) Ralls. I have memories as a small child of watching Dad in the 50's while his father umpired, my grandmother helped with the teas and my Aunt Pam scored; a great family day out. Seeing those records brought back so many childhood memories. Great to see the history of this old club preserved. Thanks to all who maintain the site.

Hey everybody!

Good luck to you all for the 2007 season. I will be sitting at my computer waiting for the results to appear every Sunday, well at least until you get the live ball by ball coverage up and running!

Henfield CC Replies: Ball by ball coverage? Hmmm...

Fantastic memories of halcient summer days in the Sussex downs. Silvo and Colgate surely tried to get me drunk when I should have been drinking Barley Water!!!! I still play a bit and owe a lot to those oracles of the game who taught me so much. I will keep an eye on the field... so to speak. Best wishes to those who remember me. Geoff.

Nice to see my old dad Jerry Hodgson still appears in the 2nd XI bowling records after all this time. He is now 76 and lives near Tours.

My son found your site and let me know. Good to see so many of my generation still figuring in your lists. Surprising to find so little of Trevor Adcock, I thought he was a sure record breaker. Great memories of the club and the cricket weeks.
And hey, didn't I get a 1st team hat trick at Rottingdean somewhen - all caught in the outfield I believe - laughing stock of the day.

Henfield CC Replies: Thank you to Jerry for taking the time to post on the Guestbook. He is the club's record wicket-taker for the 2nd XI in any one season, with 122 wickets. He currently stands 23rd on the all-time wicket-taking list for the 1st XI and 9th for the 2nd XI.

Further to my comments the other day (Henfield v H.Montefiore),someone once said "a bad reputation is better than no reputation at all". Not sure about that...........(!)

Henfield v Hove Montefiore 1975-following an LBW decision by Tom Bing off Andy Lyon really exploded on the field. Can remember catching Dave Silverson diving,one-handed,off Roy Lee. Our modest score turned out be enough!John Bushell went ballistic on me that day..............
Best regards!
