Thanks to all you
players and supporters who turned up at the Clubrooms to watch
the three games of cricket on the big screen, after the dissapointment
of the first match we came back with two great games and should
have won both.

Mike Smith has returned
to play for the club after six years in Australia and he has
performed well with the bat and ball in both the games he has
played. He showed us the score card of a club game he played
in Melbourne where his team scored a mammoth 608-9 all out in
78 overs. Mike fell short of scoring a triple century being
caught out for 291, a great effort and we hope that sort of
form continues in the games still to be played here.
