2022-23 Senior County Championships

For the 2022-23 Senior County Championships, Cambridgeshire entered three teams. Both Cambs 1 and Cambs 2 were playing in the Division 2 Central league and Cambs 3 in the Division 3 South East League.

The first team won 6 out of their 7 matches, with the final match being a 6-5 loss in the other team’s favour. The team picked up 51 rubbers out of a possible 77. The team were crowned champions of the Division 2 Central league and have gained promotion into Division 1 for the 2023-24 season! Since the introduction of the new SCC format, this is the first time that Cambridgeshire have had a team in Divsion 1.

First team players for the 2022-23 season: Ben Gardner, Campbell Wilson, Chris Lim, Chris Tustian, Oscar Keys, Scott Carter, Amber Ngo, Briony Whitfield, Natalie Taylor, Sara Cunnington and Zoe Foote.

The second team also battled it out in a strong Division 2 Central league and despite a few matches that could have very easily been a win with numerous rubbers going the full distance to three ends, Cambs 2 will unfortunately be relegated to Division 3 for the 2023-24 season. We hope to see them back in Division 2 for the 2024-25 season!

Second team players for the 2022-23 season: Harry Chan, Jack Curtis, Martin Crossley, Michael Duncan, Scott Carter, Simon Parker, Alison Meijers, Hannah Robertshaw, Polly Thisdell, Sara Moore, Stephanie Jong, Stephanie Potten and Xuan Liew.

The third team played in the highly competitive Division 3 South East league and after a number of closely fought matches, narrowly missed out on remaining in Division 3, so will be competing in Division 4 next season.

Third team players for the 2022-23 season: Ahmad Khalid Fansa, Alex Cloake, Chris Parker, Damien Dugmore, Luke Bennett, Oliver Norris, Sam Shepherd, Amber Ngo, Becky Donaldson, Jennifer Hewitt, Maheen Sattar, Polly Thisdell, Ruth Le-Fevre, Xuan Liew, Yolanda Xue and Yuki Lin.

A big thank you to all that represented Cambridgeshire this year, both old and new players! Another thank you to the team captains for their support this season: Campbell Wilson, Steph Jong, Simon Parker and Sam Shepherd.

Bring on the 2023-24 season!
