Strong start for the youngsters

This weekend gave the lads in the First Team a chance to blow off the old cobwebs, with a strong squad of 13 players on each day.

The First Team beat Blackpool on Saturday and fell short to St Annes on the Sunday.

Highlights were two half centuries in a welcome return for Jonny Whitehead.

Please note, as some players bowled but didn’t bat, these aren’t 100% accurate as you can’t really play with 13 players – or at least the scorecard doesn’t like it.

In the first league games of the season for the Third and Fourth Elevens, we had 2 great wins.
