Cricket the winner
It was great to squeeze in two games between the rain last weekend, just a shame about the outcomes. Whilst the seconds were well short away at Copford despite a half century from Tony Lee (pictured) whilst the firsts lost a last ball thriller at home against Mildenhall. Read the report from David Stovell here.
Plenty of Youth Cricket this week, and on Friday the Ladies take on Sudbury at home. There’s just one game on the Saturday with the 1sts at home to Coggeshall and another home game vs. Gt Totham on the Sunday. Good luck to all teams.
