With the season now well under way, it’s time for the first in an occasional series of updates about our teams’ progress.

First XI

Poor weather disrupted pre-season preparations for all our senior teams, and the First XI were no exception.

They have had a mixed start to the season, chalking up two wins and a draw from five games (one match, against Coombs Wood, was abandoned).

Second XI

The Second XI have had similar fortunes, enjoying two wins from four matches (two games were abandoned).

Third XI

With only two league games played (a third was abandoned), it is still early days for the Third XI, who are chasing their first win.

Under 11s

The under 11s have made a great start to the season and are starting to demonstrate the skills they have worked so hard at in training in match situations.

Fielding, calling and running between the wickets have been particularly impressive.

The team responded well to a defeat in their first game of the season, a friendly against a strong Alcester and Ragley side, and have since recorded large-margin victories in two other league games they played.

Under 12s

The under 12s have had a great start to the season in their first three league matches, with confident wins and great all-round performances by all.

The boys have come on loads in cricket skills and working as a team on the pitch, with lots of encouraging and supporting each other and, most importantly, enjoying the game.

The boys are a great bunch of players growing in ability and confidence, and they surprise me each week.

  • Look out for details soon of an under nines festival we are hosting at Bredon.
