Kaye honoured at Chigwell & Hainault cricket AGM
Chigwell & Hainault Synagogue Cricket Club honoured veteran bowler Stuart Kaye at their AGM on Sunday with a ‘Lifetime Achievement Award’.
Club captain Matt Murray presented the award as recognition of over 25 years’ service as a stalwart player and long-time committee member.
Stuart has already been honoured for his cricketing ability, as he has previously won the coveted Player of the Year award in 2000 for a remarkable season where he picked up an ‘8 for’ with the ball and a 50 with the bat in a single season. Stuart has been well known for his bowling ‘loop’, focusing on line and length rather than speed, bringing him 6 wickets in 2013 at an average of under 20. Many in the Jewish cricketing world will also know Stuart well as he has arranged the club’s fixtures for a number of years before stepping down for the 2014 season.
Club Captain Matt Murray said: “Stuart’s lack of stature in height does not do justice to the contribution he has made to our club and to Jewish cricket as a whole. He’s a giant of our club and we look forward to many more years seeing the ‘loop’ wreak its havoc on batsmen in London & Essex”.
Chigwell & Hainault Synagogue CC start pre-season nets in March and will be looking forward to building on a successful 2013 where they picked up wins against Southgate, Belmont & Edgware and Old Parkonians. The club are always on the lookout for new cricketers of any age or ability.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
