Chingford Cricket Club News story


196 Declared by Peter Jouning

28 Mar 2023

Those who were around in the 1960s,70s and 80s will no doubt remember Peter Jouning of Southgate CC. Peter has written a book called 196 Declared, where he talks about the 196 cricket grounds he played on.

Included is a story of him playing one day at Chingford, having dropped his wife off at the hospital to give birth on the way to the ground !! 

It is a very good read and will be of interest to those who appreciated the way Club Cricket always used to be and can be purchased via Amazon.

Interestingly we have a few stalwarts who could probably beat the 196. Whilst not a player, Superfan Clive Wildish reliably informs me he has watched cricket at a staggering 334 grounds !!
