17th August 2009

A very disappointing effort with the bat on Saturday saw the 1st XI slump to defeat at Tewkesbury while the 2nd XI continued their impressive form with victory at home.

August Update!

I know it's been a while but here's a quick update! The 1st XI have moved into second in the league after a string of good results in July, Hatherley look home and hosed though so a few more good performaces are needed to guaratee second place yet! The 2nd XI have continued there impressive form with the bat racking up 300+ on four occasions this season and are nip and tuck with Hatherley at the top, the last game of the season on the 29th August at Dairy Lane is against Hatherley so this may well decide the title!!

24th June 2009

Another disappointing weekend for the 1st XI with a comprehensive defeat at the hands of unbeaten Hatherley at Dairy Lane. The 2nd XI meanwhile ended Hatherley 2nd XI's unbeaten start to the season with a great win in the away fixture.
