A cracking start to the season with both teams blowing off the cricket cobwebs and securing wins!
It’s quite a packed edition this week! Plenty going on.
1’s Take 20 from Maldon
A solid start to Div 4 for the 1’s after a great knock from James Parker (80) & wickets for the returning Oli Firmin (4-45 off 15) secured the full 20 points away against Maldon II’s. This Saturday they go against Nacton in what is set to be a close encounter!
2’s Haunt Harwich
Not many thought the game on Saturday at home would go on. However, credit must go to Kem & Matt P for getting the wicket ready as well as the committee getting the clubhouse ready. The wicket played well with Ed Lambert Clarke scoring 54 and wickets for Jake Harris, Tony Lee, Jens Wair & Calum McDonald. Remarkably the 2’s now play away at Harwich this Saturday.
