1ST XI WIN IN
AIREY CUP IN ONLY CLUB FIXTURE PLAYED THIS SEASON
With the rain showing no signs of going away the 1st
XI played the first and, so far, only game any team in the Club has managed
to start. The game was against fellow Division 1 side Charlbury and in a low
scoring game we came out winners by 15 runs. In Horwood's innings the
captain, Sam Willett (31) and vice captain Tim Hudson (33 not out) led the
way as the innings closed on 126 for 5 wickets. In reply excellent bowling
from Neil Wilkins (4 for 24 off 12 overs), Matt McStraw (3 for 29 off 12
overs) and Dan Willett (3 for 32) restricted Charlbury to 111 all out.

NO YOUTH COACHING
SESSION ON FRIDAY 11th MAY
Unfortunately so much rain has fallen that the
ground is still unfit for practice or play and regrettably we have had to
cancel once more the youth coaching session planned for Friday 11 May.
Hopefully the weather will improve sufficiently to allow matches and
practice sessions to go ahead next week.
