Adam has once again agreed to organise the 2019 Season Fantasy Cricket on behalf our club.

After the success of last season we are hoping to get more teams registered which in turn supports our club funds.

Kevin (Tucker) Hetherington was the 2018 champion and I am sure he will be a front runner again next season.

Our website has had 90,000 hits since its launch in April 2008.

Our 2nd team have been moved over to Division 6 South from the North Division, after the league committee looked at all clubs in Division 6 and also considering the geographic boundaries.

This is to balance up the two Divisions and as we were the furthest South of all the clubs in the North Division.

Following on from our AGM on 25/11/2018

1st Team

Captain - David Dent

Vice Captain - Cory Milburn

2nd Team

Captain - Stuart Rosser

Vice Captain - Kevin Hetherington

We completed our end of season work on our 15 wicket cricket square on 19^th September.

We scarified our square on the angle and then straight up and down the wicket.

We spread;

• 4 bags of Barenberg extreme grass seed.

• 2 bags of fertiliser.

• 4 ton of surrey loam.

• 2 bags of soil conditioner.

After watering we now have 6 germination sheets on to help promote grass growth.

Around our square we have fitted chicken mesh to keep the rabbits and footballers off.

Now we wait for the grass to grow before we move our germination sheets.
