Mick Ayres Member profile Mick Ayres
Right hand batsman. Right arm fast bowler. Mild mannered top order batsman who never throws his wicket away. An accumulator of many runs who can bat for an entire innings. Useful, skiddy fast medium pace bowler who swings the ball both ways. A solid fielder and grade A wicket keeper.
Neal Clark Member profile Neal Clark
Regular 1st XI wicketkeeper. Right hand batsman.
Nobbler is highly competitive and doesn’t like to lose. Enjoys a joke and a sing song in the shower. Took on the reigns of club secretary in 2005 and when not playing cricket, he can be found at Upton Park watching his beloved West Ham.

Dave Hetherington Member profile Dave Hetherington
Right hand batsman.
Big Dave (Big David in polite company) is an integral member of the 1st XI who will laugh at anything and is always winding up his mate Micky Ayres. An explosive middle order batsman and an explosive personality to go with it. Takes four bottles into the shower so clearly doesn't wash and go and has an eye for the ladies.

Andy Love Member profile Andy Love
Right hand batsmen and very occasional right arm bowler.
When confident, he is one of the most technically correct batsman in the club. As a youngster he was known as promising Andy Love. Fantastic ground fielder with a terrific throwing arm. Susceptible to a duck or two but always supplies a quality tea. Also enjoys a sing song.
Pinal Patel Member profile - no photo available Pinal Patel
Pinal is a attacking middle order batsman and occaisional seam bowler signed by the twos in 2008. Bringing a laid back air of reassurance to the Ongar batting especially in nail biting run chases Pinal has fast become a highly valued member of the team.
