After a slip up against Batley last weekend, the 2nd XI faced a final day challenge of win the game to win the league. Despite being put in to bat on a rain affected wicket they batted superbly to get to a challenging 280/8. This proved to be enough to win the Premier Division 🏆
We will be adding another junior team to our club this year. The Under 13s. Great news for the club & our hard working junior managers who have done such a great job over the years. Our 2018 championship winning Under 11s elder players will be stepping up into the new team

Yasar Ali will be pleased as he welcomes Bhushan to the side who we hope proves to be a great signing for the club.
We continue the countdown to our presentation night by celebrating another batting achievement. Opener
@adawood1992
scored back to back tons 💯 for the 2’s on his way to topping the second team scoring and averages, as well as coming a close second in the overall league averages!
Unbelievable efforts this season from the 2nd XI. Despite a huge 30 point deduction, the boys finish the season in 2nd position taking it to the wire. Unbeaten in the last 14 consecutive league games takes some doing!
Congratulations to
@PSLCC
for securing the league title.
Merry Christmas to all our members, players, families, juniors and parents, supporters and valued sponsors. Have a lovely Christmas and best wishes for the new year.
We welcome friends and family of Malcolm to join us on Sunday for a minutes silence in honour of his life and dedication to our club, players and supporters.
