<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We are thrilled that Masuri will be providing Camberley CC with team wear for 2015.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The guys at Masuri have been working hard on designing new Surrey Trust and T20 kit for us and we'd like your opinion on which kit you like best from the designs they put forward. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is your chance to have a direct input on the final decision and, as the players that will potentially be wearing it, the Management Committee felt it only right that you should have your say. Just keep a look out on Twitter over the next week and let us know what you think using #cannons in your replies. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Camberley Cannons theme will be integrated as the main focal point along with the green and gold club colours. The Cannons theme hails mainly from our military background links but also can be a strong symbol for 'explosive' performances or having 'firepower' etc. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We will operate a 'Camberley Cannons T20 XI' for the National ECB and Surrey Championship T20 competitions as well as the Surrey Trust League. The U19's will be known as 'Camberley Cannons U19' for their ECB competition as well. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In addition to this and as part of our ongoing sponsorship with Barrington Sports, players will receive a full Saturday playing kit consisting of CCC shirt, trousers and a club cap upon payment/part payment of their annual subs. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Some say that Cricketer is born out of natural talent,
the odd one in a few might possess it and even fewer may be taught it. But what
about those that say it is in the genes?
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Think back to the great cricketing families of the past
and there are many to choose from. There
are several instances of brothers playing Test Cricket; Michael and David
Hussey, Adam and the late Ben Hollioake, Robin and Chris Smith and possibly,
most famously, Mark and Steve Waugh.
Mark Waugh was subjected to one of the ‘greatest’ sledges of all time
when James Ormand (remember him) responded the former’s taunt of <em><span style="background: white; color: #333333;">"What are
you doing out here? You're too s*** to play for England!" </span></em><em><span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-style: normal;">with a repost of</span></em><em><span style="background: white; color: #333333;"> "Maybe so,
but at least I'm the best player in my family".<o:p></o:p></span></em></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<em><span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">It’s not just brothers that have represented their
country, for England; Mark and Alan Butcher, Chris and Stuart Broad, Denis and
Nick Compton, Tony and Ian Greg, Alec and Micky Stewart are just some of the
Father/Son combinations to tread the hallowed turf. <o:p></o:p></span></em></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<em><span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"><br /></span></em></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<em><span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">Further to this Colin Cowdrey, in one of the rarest
family connections, fathered two sons who also represented England in Graham
and Chris. <o:p></o:p></span></em></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<em><span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"><br /></span></em></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<em><span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">The feat is fairly common at International level
and even more so at club level. <o:p></o:p></span></em></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<em><span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">At Camberley CC, there are many instances of family
bonds representing the club; Robin, Gary and Shaun Udal, Bill, James and Duncan
Crane, Don and Julian Hagger, Chris and Sam Holmes, Martin and Ryhs Holifield
and Cliff, Harry and Paul Stephens are to name but a few. The same could be said for many a club. We know that Farnham heralded, Alan, Ian and
Graham Thorpe as well as their father who was instrumental in Graham’s
professional career but I wonder if any are as diverse as our next generation
of cricketing family?<o:p></o:p></span></em></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<em><span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"><br /></span></em></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<em><span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">Steve, and brother John Holden both represented the
1<sup>st</sup> XI for many years and it was no surprise when John’s son Tom
followed suit and represented the club at U10 and U11 level. His talent was
soon recognised by Surrey and is currently playing for the U11 District West
team. When Tom’s sister Emily then
showed an interest in playing, we thought this may be a case of ‘if you can’t
beat them….’ but Emily has shone through the girls coaching in a section that
only started in 2013 and after successfully participating in the County
Assessments at the end of 2013, she has been awarded full County Age Group
honours at U11 level for Surrey as well.
<o:p></o:p></span></em></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<em><span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">It is common in girls’ cricket, that they are
entitled to play two years down in a boys’ age group, so a girl who is 13 years
old can in play in a boys U11 game.
Emily has not only done this for Camberley U11 boys and therefore
defying the ‘handicap’ system but has also completed a boys’ game at U13 level,
a full two years above her own age group. She not only competed but also took a
wicket in her allocated overs. <o:p></o:p></span></em></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<em><span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"><br /></span></em></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<em><span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">We truly have another example of the ‘Cricketing
Gene’ in action, incidentally, her Mum of the opinion ‘if you can’t beat
them….’ manages the girls section at Camberley and Steve’s son Max (5) is
already showing potential with the bat, he must get that from the Milkman! <o:p></o:p></span></em><br />
<em><span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"><br /></span></em>
