• SEASON REVIEW – ANDY MALLIFF
  • We avoided relegation despite finishing bottom of Division 1 due to league restructuring. So we’re still in Division 1 in 2020 !!
  • We won 4 games which was more than the 2 teams that finished above us – but conceding 4 games due to insufficient players really took its toll.
  • New players (particularly Hari and Vignesh) have made excellent contributions.
  • BATTING – we had 8 players who scored 100+ runs in the season which is a very good statistic
  • BOWLING – this has been disappointing with only Siva with 15 wickets getting into double figures.
  • Thanks to the committee for a lot of hard work behind the scenes
  • Special thanks to Rupe for his amazing work in keeping the club finances in great shape.
  • NEXT SEASON – we have potentially 15 new players from Wintech who currently play for West Reading but are looking to join us. Plus, some Ibis Mapledurham players, so there is a real possibility of running 2 teams next season. This will bring its own problems in terms of pitch availability but that’s a good problem to have.
  • Kids cricket to be launched next season linking up with Waltham St Lawrence Primary school.

• FINANCE REPORT – RUPE PATEL
  • Please read the separate Financial report
  • HIGHLIGHTS – external hiring of the ground to Binfield CC and Badshah Bajjar provided income of £2600
  • Quiz Night profit £917 – a big success
  • DISAPPOINTMENTS – Bar receipts down. Winter nets made a large loss.
