2nd XI. Bevin Guthrie led the way against Mersea on Saturday with his first century for the Green, his 106 matched the number on the mercury scale or that's what it seemed like. Bevin and several other of the older players were grateful to youngsters Ethan Wyatt, Connor Murphy and Christian Martin who all bowled well to take a wicket apiece. Maldon at the Green this week for the 2's.
1st XI. The ist XI winning streak ended on Saturday with a tough away game at Tuddenham. The Green did well to limit the home team to 254 but couldn’t keep up with the run rate required and ended up thirty runs short. More tough games to come in July.
