welcome to the octopus cc website
Keeping up with modern sporting trends, we've grown the OCC Brand and re-located the franchise from our Enfield heartland to the salubrious surrounds of the St Aloysius' Sports Ground.
Multiple league teams and a thriving youth development set up have been ignored in favour of 11 (approx) blokes with varying levels of ability/hangover turning up on a Sunday afternoon for a friendly game of Cricket.
New players always welcome. Ability, sobriety, availability, reliability, sanity, consciousness, white clothing, a high level of personal hygiene and the ability to respond to pointing are NOT pre requisites for getting involved. But a couple might be nice. Contact Stu Ogilvie

last match:
Calthorpe CC v OCC - 13th Sept.
Octopus won by 40 runs. - Scorecard
Another great team perfomance defending a small total sees us finish the season on a high. It started with one of our familiar 08 season collapses (110 all out) Hodge (21 n.o), Ogilvie (33). But when Danny, returning to the Octopi fold plucked a jaffer out of the air at slip, one more victory was on the cards. With Sam first toppling the top order (6o 1m 11r 4w), it was all wrapped up when Graham (o1.4 m0 2r 1w) removed their resilient captains off stump with a top spin pearler.
