Many thanks to Dave Murphy for organising and to our bus drivers, David Bateman, Peter Bignell & Trevor Sadler.

Excellent as always,Luke good to see Boof continue to be involved.Well down on winning the 20 20 title.
A tad disappointing to go down to Stoneyford in what looks like a low scoring game ?
How did Stoneyford finish up ? Huge respect re how much work goes in to a newsletter like this !
Gee Luke no end to your talent
Comprehensive, Crackers
Rulebook, Stoneyford lost their next game (the semi-final) to the team that went on to win the competition.
