After last weeks fixtures were lost to rain both teams are looking forward to some cricket today 1️⃣s 🚗 @watlingtoncc 2️⃣s 🏠@MarchamCC 2s 🗓️ 1230pm start for both games With relegation and promotion unlikely for either side it’s about having fun before the season ends 🏏🏏

1️⃣s match is cancelled. The square is heavily waterlogged and with the scheduled forecast the likelihood of any play today was not likely. 2️⃣s are still on at the moment 🤞

Todays games: 1️⃣s 🏠 to 2nd place @risinghurstcc looking to follow up last weeks win with another. 2️⃣s 🚗 to table toppers @FDCC_ looking for 7 wins in a row. The forecast looks ominous so we’re going to need our anti-rain dance again to get any cricket today 🕺💃🌦️🙇‍♂️

1️⃣s win by 7 wickets with a brilliant unbeaten partnership from skipper 55* and TPL 45* A three jug day - you love to see it🍺🍺🍺

1️⃣s bowl out @WandBHCC for 126 with a great spell of bowling by Mikey Mullins 4-13 and a strong team effort in the field

Today’s fixtures as we return to the win/lose format to finish off the remaining weeks: 1️⃣s 🚗 @WandBHCC with lots to play for in Div5C. For second week running 2️⃣s get 25 points with a ball bowled due to the oppo being unable to field 11 players. 🗓️ 1pm start at Wootton.

1️⃣s hang on for a hard fought draw with birthday boy JJ 0* and Chazbo 8* still at the crease Earlier an important knock by @colinmercer 39 with wickets falling around him Not the result wanted at the start of the day but we’ll take 9 points Next week back to winning ways 💪💪
