Key fixture for the 5's this week. We have to get this game on as one more concession and we are in a bit of bother with the league.

Selection has been a challenge with availability higher up the club meaning usual 4's / 5's players are playing in higher teams so here we are, the foundation of the club, the very bedrock, the team that gives debuts into senior cricket for young players and allows older players to face a grim reality check on the effects of aging on both flexibility and hand eye co-ordination.

We face Staines & Laleham, cunningly luring them into overconfidence with our recent track record of 3 concessions and 2 defeats in the last 5 games. Please arrive by 12:15 for introductions and tactical briefing.

It is the taking part that counts.
