Absolutely gutted that the 1st XI have been beaten by four runs by Salesbury in the T20 final. Salesbury scores 182 and we ended up 178-9 after 20 overs.
Great effort today and everyone should be proud of their efforts.
Thank you also for the great support 👏🏻
It’s with great sadness that we share the news that long-standing member and former captain and player, Ronnie Wiseman today lost his battle with cancer and has passed away 😢
