Family Focus
The Whitemans There are few Father and Son combinations that have played for our club who can match the commitment on and off the field that Pat and Phil Whiteman have given Cogenhoe C C. Pat as a former first team Captain and Secretary serving on the committee whilst a player and long after he […]
The Cooks Report – June 2020
Sponsored by Richard James Estate Agents Anyone who has ever graced a cricket pitch in the month of April in England will testify it is usually a cold, bracing affair. For me at least, it is usually time spent delighted to be back out on the pitch, but wearing as many cricket jumpers as possible, […]
The Cooks Report – May 2020
Sponsored by Richard James Estate Agents Greetings all, firstly I’d like to introduce myself. My name is Nick Lester and I am going to be writing the Cogenhoe Cricket Club column for Roy Quennell over the summer.

Second XI Captaincy
Statement Following my three year run as Second XI Captain and discussions with the Committee we have agreed to mutually part ways. Personal commitments along with a desire to avoid the behind-the-scenes matters have strongly shaped this decision. The vision was to continue the good work put in by the previous Captains and strike a […]
Winter Cricket Practice
As a successful 2017 on the field draws to a close we start planning 2018. First on the list is Winter Cricket Practice, as per previous years we have booked Northampton College’s sports hall for this. We have use of both of their bowling lanes as well as the wider use of the hall. This […]
Keith Parsons
It is with great shock and sadness we were informed of the sudden passing of Keith Parsons. Keith joined Cogenhoe back in 2005 and his involvement was down to Phil Whiteman. Phil was a manager at DHL Homebase whilst Keith was a union representative. From a work perspective the two shared many a tussle during […]
Grudge Match
This fixture was hotly anticipated after the fiery first game earlier in the season where the Cooks came away defiant winners. Sadly the weather once again wanted to get involved and the doomsayer weather radar apps showed a front sweeping towards Northamptonshire. The Second XI, while admiring the excellent facilities, were buoyed by Captain Bird […]
Penultimate
The Second XI made the trip to Higham Ferrers II for their second to last game of the season. Confidence was high after securing promotion the previous weekend however confidence in the weather was more dubious! Forecasts from a range of weather sources, including scouts in Wellingborough and Kettering, put the game in real jeopardy. […]
Mission Accomplished
The seconds headed to scenic Boughton to face bottom team Horton House IV’s with the knowledge that one win from their final three games would secure promotion back to Division 10 of the NCL. Skipper Mark won the toss, the inevitable call followed. Bowling first on an extremely grassy track with a wealth of available […]
The Cooks Report
