Match Preview

Selection this week has been tough again with having to let players know they can't play due to high numbers. Apologies to anyone who has missed out but we try as a club to give everyone a game at the weekend if possible. It is much easier chasing players to play. Could we even think about 2 Sunday sides next season? Not quite yet but we have had 2 before.

Balderton beat us by 9 wickets two weeks ago even though our opening bats created us a huge platform of 103/2 from 16. We ended up bowled out for 166 by their loopy leg spinner Kafi who took 6 of our wickets. We will have to focus much harder in this game to combat Kafi.

The 11 players selected are all unavailable for Saturday games so have had first chance to play. 8 of these played in Sundays last gasp win over Shipley. We welcome back to the team Michael Stokes, Stephen Briggs and Dev McCarthy. Doug Wright behind the stumps will be taking balls from 9 bowlers again!

Umpiring this week will be Sam Barber and scoring will be Adam Gell, thank you for volunteering. Supporters required though. Weather forecast looks great so remember the sun cream.

See you Sunday
