2023 Close of Season & Save the Dates

07 Sep 2023

Dear Members,

As another season draws to a close a few updates from the club:-

Senior League Finishes

Epic end to the season saw club history being made as the 4 league XIs all won.
We've never quite managed to have a clean sweep before.
An excellent BBQ hosted by the 2nd XI and a bowl off won by George Jarvis completed the celebrations.

Congrats to the 1st and 2nd XIs who both finished 3rd in their leagues.
A really strong performance, and encouraging for next season.
With a bit of league hokey cokey its still possible one of them could end up promoted.

The 3rds solidified their position in 10W after promotion in 2022, whilst the 4ths
finished a respectible 5th in 11N under new leadership of Will, Roger and Rod.

We also managed to field a friendly 5th XI a record 4 times.
A great testament to the health of the club and cricket at Wheathampstead.
