Club History There are historical records of a Bank of England Cricket Club (BOECC) dating back to 1867, but fixtures were infrequent and the club loosely formalised. The modern founding of the club occurred in 1908 with the formation of the Bank of England Sports Club in Roehampton, South-West London. The club played friendly cricket from 1908 through to 1970, with the superb facilities attracting fine opposition from both near and far. Four Saturday teams and multiple Sunday sides were fielded, with club records being set that still stand to this day; B.A Smith’s 145 wickets in 1942, Peter Feldwick’s 10-46 in 1946, Ralph Smith’s 193 not out in 1947, plus John Hopwood’s 2055 runs in 1948. Our league adventures began in 1971 with the formation of the Surrey Cricketers League (SCL). We did not win any silverware but were fundamental to the continued organisation of the league, with our own Barry Hoffmann eventually becoming its Chairman. In 1987 the SCL merged with the Surrey Championship (originally formed in 1968), which is where we have played ever since. Playing availability was excellent throughout this period, and for several years the club were able to field five Saturday teams. This helped the 1st XI to our first promotion from Division 2 in 1989, as we took a seat at the top table of Surrey cricket for the first time. The feat was repeated in 1993, this time unbeaten, eventually leading to our highest ever finish of 4 th in Division 1 in 1999. At the time this made us the fourth best team in all of Surrey – not bad for a bunch of bankers! It also earned qualification for the first ever season of the newly formed Premier League in 2000. This proved to be a short-lived experience as relegation swiftly followed, but in 2001 we bounced back for another crack at the Premier League in 2002. Immediate relegation again followed, and this remains our most recent season in the top division. A period of rebuilding followed as we yo-yoed between the divisions, mostly downwards, and by 2009 were in Division 3. The success of the junior section (formed in 1993) stabilised the club hereafter, and in 2015 we took a step back in the right direction with promotion into Division 2, where we have remained since. At the end of the 2019 season our ground was leased out, so since 2020 our new home ground has been Oberon Playing Fields in Raynes Park. This helped to bring the whole club closer together, which included the 1st XI’s run to the T20 Cup quarter finals in 2021. Curiously, despite five promotion campaigns the club is yet to win a 1 st XI league title. Fortunately, the same cannot be said for our other sides, with the 2nd XI winning Division 1 in 2002 (plus two other promotion seasons), and the 3rd XI also winning their respective Division 2 in 1990. The Midweek XI has found success by winning the London Banks Cup in 1990 and 1994, whilst in recent years the Public Services T20 Tournament has been claimed on six different occasions, most recently in 2019. As a club we are not all about winning, with a fine tradition of socialising on numerous club tours, including major trips abroad to Barbados (1982), Australia (1988), New Zealand (1993) and South Africa (2003). An annual tour to Sussex ran for almost 60 years between 1921-1979, and to this day we still arrange annual trips to Kent (since 1923) and Buckinghamshire (since 1986).

Chairman’s Welcome possible. We have retained the flexibility to do so if the opportunity arises but are pressing on with plans to further improve our alternative locations. We continue to work with Hall School to upgrade the facilities at Oberon and during the winter a shed has been built to accommodate the heavy roller, which also provides some additional storage. A defibrillator has been purchased for the site (but fingers crossed we never need to use it), whilst we have also invested in a new boundary rope to provide more of that traditional cricketing feel. Perhaps most importantly, we have also ordered a mobile batting cage to be used in conjunction with a flicx roll up wicket, giving us an on-site net option for players to warm up in. We continue to investigate options around building a proper artificial net facility, but this Club Chairman is a long-term project that will require significant funding. Peter Andrews We have managed to secure a new location for 3rd and 4th XI cricket, hosted by Wimbledon Rugby Club at Beverley Meads Welcome to our 2022 members’ handbook, which brings Recreation Ground.

Club Captain’s Message legacy to be proud of with colts of all eras throughout the Club, from the 1s captain to the deepest depths of the 4th XI. So, with new venues and a potential golden generation coming through the youth section, will this result in glory on the field? No team will be striving harder for that than the 1st XI, with captain Kit Winder aiming to achieve promotion after last year’s 3rd place in Division 2. In the T20 Cup, the team will be looking to replicate last year’s Cinderella run to the quarter finals. The other Saturday sides will be hoping to achieve success in their own competitions, whilst giving opportunities to the Bank stars of tomorrow. The 2nd XI will once again be led by club Club Captain stalwart Aaron Crane in 2nd XI Division 3, where a new Mark Streather challenge awaits after a couple of seasons of squad rebuilding. With some exciting new players coming into the squad, Aaron’s side are one to watch this year at their new level.

Junior Cricket Coordinator’s Message feeds into our youngest match playing team, the u9s (Year 4), who will be playing soft ball “pairs” cricket with 6 players per team in the Surrey Junior Championship. The number of participants has decreased to allow each child to have more “meaningful moments”, and we will ensure everyone gets the opportunity to participate. The u10 (Year 5) age group sees the introduction of the hard cricket ball, with numbers increasing to 8 per team. The cup competitions also begin at this age group, so our young players can enjoy the added excitement of knock out play. The u12s (Year 7) are combined with our u11s (Year 6), with Junior Cricket Coordinator proper “out when you’re out” cricket and the full 11 players per Richard Kendall side. I’d like to say this is the format that will serve them well for the rest of their cricketing careers, but who knows what inventions will be around the corner?!

It is very exciting to be able to provide junior cricket again in Historically we have occasionally fielded an u17 team but that 2022, as we continue to build upon the big re-start for BOECC is not possible in 2022 due to limited numbers. This remains junior cricket of 2021.
