Winter 2019 Updates....

25/1/19 MAGDALEN CC AGM, Champagne Charlies, Charing Cross. Waseem resigns, Imran Khan voted the new MAGS skipper for 2019! Steve and Swainy Vice Skippers. 75th Anniversary celebrations; a slap up meal and Presidents XI game B/H August. No Lords nets this year, somewhere else, tbc, for a change....


The UP POMPEY! Tour 2019; Selsey, Ferring and Hambledon, July 2019. See Tour Manager Knobby for more info. Other Sunday fixtures coming together, as are the HOUNSLOW LEISURE fixtures with most mid weeks now confirmed. Looks like Chelmbridge will be our 400th game. Will post when more is confirmed, but first game Thurs 9/5 v Richmond Yorkers confirmed. And last game, v Hambledon CC, Sat 15/9/19...


Help find Magdalen CC opening batter from '71 to '74, Hugh Grant (not that one), who held the record for most runs in a season from 1971 for 43 years (876), until Wendel surpassed it with his season of 3 double hundreds in 2014. Still holds the record for highest opening partnership, 242 v Motley, 1971. A fine bat by all accounts..., but who was he, and where is he now..?
