Another great game yesterday, which we won comfortably after a bit of a rocky start batting first.
Big congratulations to David Jackson for getting a wicket in his first over of adult cricket!

We could do with one or two more keen cricketers, so if you know someone who wou ld like to come please let me know.
We are sorry Charlie Lockhart will not be with us this year, but Essex Youth have called him up and we all wish him success and happy times.
Please phone me if you have any tour queries.
Regretfully we have received notification from OS&S that they are unable to raise a side for the game on Sunday. There is little opportunity of getting an alternative fixture at this late stage, so we have taken the decision to call off the game this weekend. Let’s hope that this is the last one!
If there are enough people who are keen we could hold a net session on Sunday afternoon.
Lastly, please could someone at the school let Jerry know that we don’t need a pitch prepared for this weekend.
If you haven’t already, please can you confirm your availability for the game this Sunday. We’re still looking for 6 for this weekend, so if you know anyone that would like a game please let me know asap.
Also there is not going to be a net session tonight.
Morning all,
Firstly a huge thanks to all players, officials and everyone involved in preparing the delicious lunch and tea. I’m sure that you’ll agree it was a fantastic day and a really enjoyable cricket match. Well done to Noel and team on their narrow 1 wicket victory!
Please can you confirm your availability for our next game, which is a home fixture against OS&S this Sunday starting at 14:00.
In addition our president has asked if you can give us confirmation of your availability for the Presidents fixture on the 19th of July.
The following team has been selected for Sunday’s game at home against the JWT Wilcox XI
I have spoken to John and he has agreed that the Mount can field 12 players. Bob is due to arrive just after 13:00 and we will rotate the fielders accordingly. We will however need to select 11 to bat.
Please remember that the game starts at 12:00 sharp, so please arrive in plenty of time.
I look forward to seeing you on Sunday.
I hope you all had a good weekend.
Please can you let me know if you are available for the next fixture which is at home against the JWT Wilcox XI.
Please note that this game is a 12:00 start.
