A small tea will be served during the afternoon and there will be a barbecue after the game to which all are welcome.

We would be delighted to welcome old friends, non playing members, spouses, partners, mistresses, concubines during the day and in the evening.

Match Result: Mount vs Westcliff
Mount: 134ao - S. Jackson 75, S. Russell 30
Westcliff: 135/5 - T. Hair 2/20
Lost by 5 Wickets

A somewhat disappointing game with a rather lacklustre feel about it. We did not get sufficient runs to put a quite strong Westcliff side under any pressure and we never felt that we were in with a shout, which is how it proved to be.

The following have been selected:

1. G. Cox
2. T. Eden
3. T. Hair

5. R. Palmer

Farningham: 143ao - T. Eden 3/19, R. Hair 3/23, D. Thomas 3/35
Won by 39 Runs

A victory at last. An enterprising partnership between the two Simons saw Mount reach a useful total in very warm conditions before Messrs Eden, Hair and Thomas exposed the demons in the wicket aided by some superb catching from the captain who held on to three saw us to our first win of the season. Now we are on a roll, watch out Westcliff...

Please note that this game starts at 1.00pm.
