Chairmans Blog, Start to the New Season

As normal the first week of the new season it rained all but the 3rd team was washed out and they lost, a gloomy evening. The next week it certainly got better with victory over long term rivals Penshurst which was surpassed the following week by bowling out current leaders Sissinghurst for 50 runs. A perfect bowling/fielding performance with 9 catches and 1 dropped on a 5 wicket haul and a hat trick ball… guess who???
Spent  most of last Saturday watching the 4th XI at West Farleigh, a spectacular ground well worth a visit. Unfortunately we lost by 2 runs which followed the previous weeks tie. However, the highlight of my first blog (this is it) was last Friday watching U11 against Plaxtol losing by 1 run and on Sunday visiting Southborough to watch the inaugural tournament for U11 where we had 2 teams participating. All games were exciting for both girls and boys, you need to see it to believe it.  They are our future.
