Crestfallen Sidekicks won by 7 wickets

Relatively comfortable win after our bowlers knocked Wolfie's boys over fo r 147. Ratings suggest I'll be struggling to get prize money this year, let alone matching my 2nd place from last season.

First win this season in division1, not sure we can pull off another miracle and avoid relegation this season.

Thankfully we will only lose one player this season.

In division 3 this season so promotion is really the only option, 2 from 2 so far but it won't be easy as need to give some of the younger seniors experience.

An unlikely win, with a decent batting performance to boot. Terminal failure Bunworth actually made some runs for once - an unbeaten 55 (his first double-figure score of the season) that got us home!

Ruff Royals won by 4 wickets

We started off well with the ball but they then got back in to it before we took the last 4 wickets fairly quickly. 224 on a green was a decent enough total so we'd have to bat well with the bat.

We didn't start well with the bat though and it wasn't looking great at 103-5. An 81 partnership between Dennehy and Mwai plus an unbeaten 41 partnership between Mwai and Bennett got us the win with about 5 overs to spare.

An awful performance today. We didn't bowl well;I was particularly disappointed with Westerveld. Then the batters were bad too with the exception of House who managed to hit 46.
