Played my first senior match v The Mote as a 15 year old. Skippered by Buddy Jessop, my reward was a couple of free pints and an Indian. Had a couple of sojourns away from Chingford, but always returned. Need my head examining. Thought I would have to retire end of 2004 due to a tendon problem in my upper right arm. Being a gullable soul, or was it that sod Paul Hart who me talked into giving 2005 a whirl. With regular match day physio from John Woodland and careful nurturing from Mark Campbell I had one of my better season with ball for quite a while. My batting would have been better if both John and Paul Hart had convinced me earlier that I was blind. Then its forward to the 2007 season. Gonna call it a day as far as indoor is concerned, is a young person's game, and also my peer group have all buggered off either crippled, knackered or some other committment they can think of.  2008 was a bland year for me, couldn't bowl a ball off the straight and narrow.  Batting, still blind leading the bat.  2009, an emergence, Sammy being the hero here.  Now the ball was swinging again, especially off the boundary ropes.  Played mainly in the Sunday Bs (was very honoured to play 3 matches in the As with the elite). Jemmied out of retirement and played 3 indoor matches.  You know, was right to retire when I did.  Now have 2010 season.  Wonders what is in store.
Next instalment - 2015. CRAP.... am still playing!!!!!!!
Can't blame Paul or John this time, tis Michael Blake's fault. Now I guess why you are wondering why I am not blaming myself. Answer is simple - DENIAL.
Both won and lost the toss, now 4th XI vice-captain, so Saturdays and not Sundays. Wow, have really missed the "Peter May" and all the other communal cabbage patches in Essex.

Am Myles' sidekick, poor bastard.

Bryan was one of the greatest fast bowlers to ever wear the Chingford shirt and it was a familiar sight in the 60s and 70s to watch him bowling over after over down the hill at the Kimberley Way end. Bryan represented the Club between 1956 and 1982 capturing 883 wickets, the vast majority of which were at 1st xi level and the 10th highest total in Club History. Bryan was 1st xi Captain in 1977 and also did a spell as Vice-President in the 1980s. A truly Chingford All Time Great.

Bryan wrapped up his career in the 1980s representing Essex Over 50s and I know he had many fond memories of his time with the County Vets.

Bryan was also actively involved in our sister Club, The Chinghoppers and was President of the Hoppers in 1986 and a Life Vice President till his passing.

Born. Sometime in the middle of the last century.
Previous Club. Nobody else would have me.
Best bowling. 8-24 v's Northampton Exiles
Best batting. Cant remember, over 50 less than 70
Ambitions. To take a hat trick, and score 100, play at least one game for the over 50's
Heros. Ian Botham and WC Cliff Crafer, my first captain

Derek Harwood was the son of Chingford legendary bowler Jock Harwood, but unlike his father he was an opening batsman, full of talent and determination, who sold his wicket dearly. He was also an occasional bowler, moreso in his early years at the Club

Derek was the oldest surviving member not in age but in terms of his debut for the Club. He first appeared for the 3^rd XI in May 1946 in the same game that Buddy Jessop played his first game for the Club. The two excited youngsters travelled together to Broxbourne by bus. Although Derek opened his account with a duck, he had the consolation of picking up a wicket so his senior career was under way.

Runs were soon flowing from the Harwood willow and from the records we have Derek amassed 7333 runs, which make him the 38^th highest run scorer in Club history. His tally included 5 centuries, including a monumental 142 for the 2^nd xi at Highgate in 1951. I remember Derek being delighted to receive The Young Clubman Award for that year(awarded to him posthumously in 2008 at the Club Supper, we even managed to include a copy of the press cutting of the match from The Chingford Guardian for him!)

I believe Derek also scored a half century against an Essex XI, which he was extremely proud of.

Derek regularly played up to 1977, but I also remember the last game of the 2^nd xi season at Eton Manor in September 1983 when Derek answered a Jeff Runciman SOS to come out of retirement and help the Club out. Poor Derek ended up with a broken hand for his troubles getting stuck in on a difficult pitch, but such was his bravery.

Once Derek had hung up his boots he was a regular at the Club, he spent several years scoring for the Colts as his talented son Steve learned the game. In more recent times Derek was a fixture around the ground on match days and he particularly enjoyed events like Cricket Week.

Derek was also an avid supporter of our sister Club Chingh
