A WORD FROM OUR CAPTAINS DEAN WHITE

Our first away game of the season saw us travel to Bream where we lost the toss and were put in to bat 2 early wickets saw us 50-2 but in comes Jayner (90) to join Taz (61) and the pair put on a 3rd wicket stand of 150 A late flurry of runs from Aaron and Kerry saw us to 262-5 A strong start by our opening bowlers saw Bream 41-3 with AOC getting his first wickets of the season supported well by Jack 2 wickets each from Alfie and Taz put us in the driving seat and we secured our 3rd win of the season This week we welcome Stanway who are also 3 from 3 so it should be a good contest!

- 2ND XI

I’m still coming down from last week’s match Winning the toss and batting first, we were indebted to Bobby, who played a masterful innings to guide us to a decent total of 180 Any delusions this score would guarantee victory were quickly quashed as Parkend stormed to 82 for 0 off 14 overs Thankfully, a few tight overs (and some wickets) helped us regain some control, which was never relinquished - the icing on the cake being that it was our Under 15s who closed out the game, bowling the last 11 overs of the match (including a brilliant spell from Fred and great death overs from Riley and Aiden) to seal a 9-run victory Fingers crossed for a similar result today against Westbury!
