WCC CRICKET UPDATE
Our warmest congratulations and best wishes go to Amie and Joel, Mr and Mrs Pope, who got married last Friday in a beautiful ceremony at St Peter’s Church in Newdigate. The reception was held at a local farm in a wonderful barn in glorious weather. It was a great way for them to start their married lives together!
Cricket News
Despite the festivities the night before, the first XI kept up their winning run with a comprehensive victory over struggling Valley End. Mentioned in this section last week, the job is to keep the pressure up on Sunbury and they showed a little crack in their armour by losing to Normandy and reducing their lead to 33 points. With a win earning only 20 points in the limited over format, the title is still very much theirs to lose but cricket is a funny old game.
The 2nd XI failed to continue their recent revival by losing at home to Ashtead. Although far from ideal, it has not scuppered their chances for a second place finish but they will have to play very well to secure the runner’s up slot.
With Wothers back in the fold, the 3s beat lowly Banstead and put themselves in good shape to record their highest ever league finish since Weybridge introduced the 3rd XI. They have 3 teams to play who are below them in the league so all to play for.
The 4th XI’s depressing run of defeats continued this weekend but there were definite signs of improvement as they clocked up their biggest total for many weeks. Despite this run, the 4s are totally safe from relegation, as are all of the teams in the league. You can see the tables and the remaining fixtures for all clubs in our leagues below.
Dan Martin’s Sunday XI recorded another win at home on Sunday, this time against Banstead. All players seemed to be in the runs or wickets or catches. Well done!
