he 2015 season was another one of development for the OACC with a pleasing number of new members joining the club.
After receiving a walkover in our Cricketer Trophy first round tie against the Old Epsomians we met for the first time on
Speech Day to play a leavers XI. For the first time in many years we registered a victory thanks largely to a dazzling 85 from
Will Hardwick (Tuckwell 2010). he day after we played our Cricketer Trophy second round tie vs Old Georgian's and after
a rain affected match where the format turned totally in the visitors' favour we were knocked out. Phil Lewis (Woodard
2000 and current Director of Cricket) top scored with 53*. Our annual fixture at Millfield then followed a couple of weeks
later and a fantastically enjoyable game went the way of the home side despite Charlie Mckegney's (Tuckwell 2004) 56 and
Sam Venn's (Bishop Fox 2014) 4 wickets.
