6th XI

The 6th XI played 11 games winning 4 and drawing 2 and could have played every week through the league season had we been able to find opposition. Some excellent performances by our Under 13 colts in this team against some pretty strong opposition.

5th XI

The 5th XI played some particularly strong teams this year and losing Chris Grob and Simon Lennox to the 4\’s won only 4 games out of 15. Simon scored 246 runs in the games he played.

4th XI

Narrowly missed out on automatic promotion in their first league season winning 8 and tying 1 of their 12 league games. Chris Grob scored 488 runs.

Sunday XI

At the beginning of the season we had a problem getting senior players to play so Ian Bryant gave quite a number of younger players the chance to play. They clearly enjoyed themselves but the results were a little disappointing winning only 6 of 17 completed games.

3rd XI

Also finished 3rd winning 10 of 16 completed games. John Stirk scored 372 runs and Andy Impey 261. Adam Dudmish took 26 wickets including 3 x 5 wicket hauls.

2nd XI

Just avoided relegation by winning their last 3 games. Tony Catling scored 416 runs and Willie Leadbeater 326. Stuart Whiter took 15 wickets.

1st XI

1st XI had a rather disappointing season after last year\’s success. They won 9 league games and lost 8 to end up mid table. Jon Cook scored over 630 runs and James Donahue 360. Ian Bryant was the leading wicket taker with 49 wickets.

Colts

Under 9

This section really took off this year and the team played 9 friendly fixtures and improved in every game winning 6 of their last 7 games.

Under 11B

Quite a few youngsters were playing league cricket for the first time. They won 3 games and lost 7 but enjoyed themselves and had an good team spirit.

Under 11A

A young side who started slowly and gradually improved. Won 4 and lost 5 league games.

Under 13B

Another team who started slowly but improved all the way through the season and showed a fantastic team spirit. Played an amazing 19 matches.

Under 13A

We had high expectations of this team but most had just come up to this age group and struggled to impose themselves in the new age group. Won 2 and lost 7 league games.

Under 15B

Playing in a league with other Club\’s A teams, this was always going to be difficult to avoid being well beaten every week but the boys stuck at their task well and showed good Club spirit.

Under 15A

Plenty of talent in this team and with a great win early on against Leigh and some excellent performances in adult teams things looked good but after having 6 matches postponed because of rain the wheels came off and only managed to win 2 more league games.
