A disappointing week

All in all last weekend was a big disappointment. With the exception of the second XI who again won and kept a clean sheet and remain undefeated - a club record perhaps - the results were poor. Bad results is one thing but when associated with ill discipline on the field which we all had thought was eradicated from our ranks it is a real downer. The requisite steps have been taken and an apology received. We all wish to win and can become frustrated at our own and others' performances. However unecessary yellow cards at critical times is a huge let down for everyone and provides our opposition with a massive boost. We all make mistakes and generally more than the umpires who are umpiring our games. I sincerely hope that this is the last time this topic raises its head whilst I am club captain.

The one's flunked in their big game against Bank of England when a win would have made the league title a two horse race. As it is the league will go down to the wire but is between 3, maybe 4 teams. The positive side of last week was our fielding what was probably the youngest league first XI ever. A very good sign for the future.

All sides need a win this weekend for their various reasons so let's go out there, put last week behind us, button it and come back with some points.

Knappy.
