Adults Section .........
Saturday 1st XI
Unfortunately we were relegated this season, a major reason for this is the lack of runs and this can be seen through the averages, however there were notable exceptions, Ashfaq showed enthusiasm and heart throughout they year and was rewarded with some good performances, Apart from Ashfaq Jason Green, Naveed Saeed, Richard Lloyd and Jon Tall took over fifteen wickets this year. Terry started the year slowly but scored consistently in the second have of the season including two half centuries. Other notable batting achievements included James Cole hitting his maiden 1st XI century against Hampton.
Bowling - Ashfaq Ahmed

The 2nd team finished seventh in the league but were consistently in the top half of the table for the majority of the year. Alex Bullivant won the bowling averages in his first full season in the 2nd team, the bowling attack performed well consistently with the experienced Eddie Evans again taking 30 wickets in the season and Ehsan Yousaf also contributing heavily with 26 wickets. The batting award was again taken by Ehsan Yousaf with over 600 runs including a century against Mosley Ashfield; he was helped along by the consistent opening partnership of Craig Thomas and Feraz Mustafa.
