I hope that there will be an article on the back page of the Hampshire Chronicle this week about our first game of the season against Walton and Hersham.

It would be nice but they much prefer covering Eastleigh it seems....I've taken it up with the editor before given as a Winchester based paper you'd think they'd cover their local and successful club but apparently not.....

Most annoying. Back page this week, 2 articles, one on Hursley Park under-11 cricket and the other on Easton cricket club fundraising event. One would hope that once in a while WCFC would make the back page.

Malcolm does, I think, send in a report each week but unfortunately its up to them if they print it.

I appreciate that Malcolm sends in his report but the fact that they state on the back page 'Send us your news sport@hampshirechronicle.co.uk'shows that they are desperate for news.
I have noticed that Malcolm's reports are usually on the inside page in a single column, not very prominently.

In each of the last few weeks I have sent them details of either our pre-season matches or early season fixtures, but none of them have been used. I was hopeful that in the most recent edition with so much cricket rained off that we would have had a better chance.
I have usually submitted my \article on Tuesday evening which has often been OK for Tuesday midweek fixtures. This week I intend to send my report both to this website and the Hampshire Chronicle over the weekend.
Especially considering that in the last 10 years at least three players have played for both Winchester and Walton and Hersham and in the past Walton \and Hersham have been a high profile club I certainly hope they will use this as they did for virtually all Saturday fixtures last season.
