Weekend report 1st, 2nds and 3rds

What a dismal weekend!

Ah well – it had to happen eventually (after last year’s record) – matches get rained off!  Both the First and Second XI got well deserved (but not wanted!) rests whilst the Third’s struggled on through the weather.
At least some got a run out on Sunday, in weather more commonly associated with the mid-Atlantic Ocean, [...]

On a breezy afternoon the coin was tossed and Kirby Muxloe asked the home side to bat. Little did they know of the drama to unfold later in the day. A steady partnership from Steve Lawrence and Richard Stanford was a good start but both were back in the pavillion [...]
