December 8th
In the final week of the football season the First X1 were held to a 1-1 draw against a very good Highgate side, Charlie Watson with Charterhouse goal. The U16 team won 1-0, capping another very good year, winning 9 out of 13 games, losing just twice. The U15's were also very strong, losing just the 2 games including a penalty shoot out, and much the same could be said about the U14's, a good 3-0 win Saturday meant they only lost the 2 games also. A strong year throughout the School.
In other sport, the squash team had an excellent term, the First V losing just twice. The senior swimming team went undefeated and despite a slow start for the rugby team, the XV recorded some good wins in the second half of term.

The 1st X1 entertained St Bede's on Saturday. A bad tempered affair resulting in 2 St Bede's players recieving their marching orders, however it didn't influence the result as the away side won 4-0. The U16's led 2-0 before being pegged back to 2 a piece. The U15's led 2-1 with 2 minutes to play and yet contrived to lose 3-2 thanks to some poor defending. And the U14's conceded a late penalty in the 8th minute of stoppage time to draw 3-3.

Charterhouse v Whitgift

 

Coming off the back of 4 straight wins Charterhouse entertained Whitgift in a thrilling encounter. Whitgift were inserted on a damp morning and found the going tough against the new ball. However, the openers built a good base for the talented Jason Roy and Tom Winslade to kick on and take Whigift past 100 for the loss of 2 wickets before lunch. The introduction of spin with Tom Hamilton and Ben Rinck slowed proceedings and induced a couple of false shots. The final total of 197 off 45 overs about par for the course. Charterhouse got off to a great start as Ollie Pike found his timing straight away, however, Naved Choudhry in his 6th over disposed of Pike, Jamie Rumball and Jamie Hall in three balls, sending the innings into chaos. A rearguard action from Henry Don, 43 and Tom Kimmins, 20, followed from a cameo from James Procter took the home side ever nearer to the 197 required. Useful contributions from Hamilton and Peter Doggart left 7 required off the final 2 balls but it was all just a little too much to do and Whitgift emerged victorious by 5 runs.

Wellington v Charterhouse

 

 

Charterhouse continued their fine run of victories with an impressive thumping of Wellington. Having won the toss Wellington started in fine fettle with Durandt and Lowe punishing anything loose. It took the introduction of James Chandler to stem the flow with the wicket of Lowe and tighter bowling from Ben Rinck alongside Chandler stopped Wellington in their tracks. Durandt, in great touch, was looking very dangerous, but the arrival of Tom Hamilton changed the course of the match. A fine delivery accounted for the Surrey Academy player just before lunch for a fine 64. After lunch Chandler continued his fine work and picked up his first five wicket haul of the season. James Procter wrapped up the tail and the home side were dismissed for a modest 162.

 

In reply Ollie Pike went early, caught down the leg side, before Ben Jeffery and Jamie Rumball steadied the ship. A loose shot from Jeffery and a good ball accounted for Rumball, but in Jamie Hall and Henry Don, Charterhouse took the game away from Wellington. Don scored at will and his 65 not out was his best for the First X1, the game wrapped up in the 37th over, a victory by 6 wickets.

 

Scorecard

In other games, Julian Hornby scored an impressive 95 as the U16's won by 8 runs, the U15's lost as did the U14's.

Cricket

Charterhouse v Bradfield

 

Charterhouse won the toss and elected to bowl first on a pitch that looked to offer some movement early on. Good bowling from James Procter and Peter Doggart made early in roads and the prize wicket of Hamsa Riazuddin was taken by James Chandler to leave the away side 76-4. A minor recovery was staged but the introduction of Procter back into the attack snuffed out the threat of Bradfield making a decent score. The final total of 152 all out represented a poor effort, but in Chandler 3-23 and Procter 3-28, Charterhouse held all the aces.

 

The Charterhouse reply was once again led by Ollie Pike and Ben Jeffery. Pike departed with the score on 76 for a well made 30 which left Jeffery to play the match winning innings of 67 not out. A couple of late wickets didn’t take any gloss off the home side’s 4th win on the trot.

In other games, the U14's won again, as did the U16's, but the U15's lost.

Charterhouse v OC’s 24th May

 

A very windy but crucially dry day greeted the OC’s back to Charterhouse for the annual fixture between the two sides. Charterhouse won the toss and inserted the OC’s on a very hard and true wicket. Superb early bowling from James Procter and Peter Doggart reduced the batting side to 12 – 3, Procter bowling both openers. Harry Hooper then got his head down to compile a patient 23 before being George Adolphus first wicket. At 57-5 the omens were very poor for a full day’s cricket but in Nick Gay and Will Young the old boy’s had some fight left in them. Fifties for each player took the score to a respectable 200 all out. James Procter being the pick of the bowlers with 3-34 off his 10 overs.

 

Charterhouse got off to a great start in reply. Ollie Pike, showing true class, and Ben Jeffery put on 75 for the first wicket before Jeffery got out once again when well set for 31. Jamie Rumball scored a breezy 18 and then Pike was joined by Jamie Hall to form the match winning partnership. Hall with a belligerent 48 not out complimenting Pike’s unbeaten 74.

 

Although the OC performance was down a level on last year this was another excellent performance from the First X1.

Dulwich v Charterhouse

 

After the glorious weather from the previous couple of weeks, a damp, grey, cold morning greeted the two teams. Charterhouse won the toss and elected to bowl first, James Procter and Peter Doggart were economical but never really threatened the classy Ranatunga. A wet ball hampered the attack and runs were easy to come by, spin was introduced but with the ball resembling a bar of soap, Ranatunga and Goodwin milked the attack. After lunch Procter produced a devastating spell, taking 4 wickets. With good support from James Chandler the scoring slowed, Ranatunga finally out for 104 courtesy of a great run out from Jamie Hall. The declaration came at 202-6, leaving Charterhouse to score at nearly 6 an over to win the game. The new pairing of Ollie Pike and Ben Jeffery got the away side off to a perfect start putting on 94 before Jeffery was adjudged LBW. Pike followed soon after for a cultured 61, leaving Hall and Rumball to play a more expansive game. Rumball with 39 from 23 balls took the game away from Dulwich and with George Adolphus supplying the finishing touch a good victory was secured in the final over of the day.

 

Scorecard

 

In other games, the U16's lost by one wicket in the last over, the U15's had their first win of the season thanks to a great all round performance from Ed Strang. And the U14's won again thanks to Jonathon Gonszor's 50 and Tom Gallyer's 6-17.

Eton v Charterhouse

 

Another beautiful May morning greeted the two teams. Charterhouse won the toss and elected to bat and for most of the morning that was the only thing the away side got right. A collection of poor shot selection and some good bowling saw the batting side slip to 60-6. It was only Ben Jeffery with a very patient 54 and a mixture of Chandler, Procter and Doggart down the order who could claim to have batted well, Eton’s five spinners being very effective at drying up the scoring rate. A total of 139-9 off 55 overs never looked like being competitive as Vandespar and Hobson, both very good players, flayed the Charterhouse attack to all parts. The game was wrapped up in the 31st over, and another year goes by with Eton being the dominant force in this fixture.

 

First X1 Scorecard

 

In the other fixtures, the Under 14's won again, Jonathon Gonszor continuing his excellent season with 39. The U16's and 15's both lost, the 16's by just one wicket in the last over. An excellent 75 from Julian Hornby not being enough to finish on the winning side.

 

Water Polo

 

The Charterhouse U18 Water Polo team became National Champions with a 26 -8 win over Bradford Grammar School. Hugo Millington-Drake scoring eight goals.

 

May 9th

Cricket

On a beautiful warm May day the MCC won the toss and elected to bat on a near perfect wicket. Harry Hooper a former Carthusian took advantage and scored at will, stroking the ball effortlessly all around Green. With the score on 180-1 a large total beckoned, but an inspired spell of seam bowling from James Procter, well supported by George Adolphus reined the scoring rate in. On 218-7 after 54 overs the MCC declared leaving the home side to score at 4 and a half an over to win. A solid start by Ollie Pike and Will Walker got Charterhouse off to a perfect start as they put on 75 for the first wicket before they both fell in quick succession. Jamie Hall and Ben Jeffery got things back on track before Jeffery departed. Adolphus then gave Hall the support he needed and the game moved quickly away from the MCC. Hall with 65 not out winning the game in the final over of the day. A very good win.

First X1

After another very wet week in the lead up to the game it was no surprise that on winning the toss Charterhouse invited Tonbridge to bat. A sluggish wicket and disciplined bowling from James Procter and Peter Doggart meant runs were hard to come by in the early stages. The rate barely got above 3 an over as the away side were held back by Adolphus and Rinck in the middle of the innings, late hitting from Cowdrey gave Tonbridge a score of 172 off their 55 overs. In reply Walker went early leaving Pike and Jeffrey to steady the ship against some good early bowling. From 41-1 the home side slipped to 94-5 before Henry Don gave Ollie Pike the stability he needed to kick on with his innings. A match winning partnership of 81 then took Charterhouse to victory. Don with a valuable 30 not out complimenting an outstanding innings of 84 not out from Pike.

 

In other games, the U16 A's won, as did the U14 A's but the 15's lost at Tonbridge.

In reply James Procter took an early wicket as Radley struggled to get going. Good spells from Adolphus 3-27 and Chandler 2-28 made sure the home side never looked likely to get to the target.

RGS Newcastle 0 Charterhouse 1

The Charterhouse 1st XI found the expansive Whitley Bay FC pitch to their liking and using a stiff breeze’ pounded the RGS Newcastle goal during the first half. Constant pressure eventually led to a goal from a corner, headed in by their talisman Anthony Beddows. The back four looked secure despite some inventive play by the RGS forwards. After half time the wind clearly made a difference as the home team pressed for an equaliser. There were some moments when this might have happened but the Charterhouse defence marshalled by Oli Black and George Ellis held firm to give the school a path into the last eight of the Boodles ISFA Cup.
