This season the 1st team played in Senior 2. We played 16 games with 7 wins, 1 draw and we lost 8. We finished 4th in the league which was a good result considering player availability and we were now playing in a new league.  This season produced several very good performances, with all players contributing to the results.  8 different batsman scored 50 or more, and Liam scored his 1st hundred at Linton where he top scored with 101. There were 6 batsman who totalled more than 200 runs over the season, with Jez topping the scoring with 311 and Liam scoring 292 in his 1st season in senior league cricket.  With the ball there were 8 different bowlers who took 8 wickets or more. I (Mark) was the leading wicket taker with 20 wickets.  The fielding this year, was again very good, with all players having very high standards in the field. However, there is still room for some improvement at the start of next season. Next season looks good with the younger players really starting to find their places in the side and combined with the senior players will hopefully produce some even better and bigger performances.The one thing we must work on as a team and a squad is player commitment and availability if we want to challenge for promotion next season. I really believe we now have the players in the side to achieve this and take the club in to senior 1 cricket.
