After the 8 month long break that is the football season, cricket started again yesterday. Given our promotion last season we were looking forward to the challenge of a higher standard of competition and weren't disappointed. I just hope our opponents weren't.
All out for 63 they reached their target with four wickets down on a sunny but cold day.
Skipper, Dan bowled well taking three of the wickets, other going to me. His was the only stand out contribution and if we continue like this, it's going to be a long season.
On the plus side we welcomed Steve into the team and he looked handy with the bat albeit during a somewhat foreshortened innings.

Plymouth Argyle stormed to a thrilling 0 - 0 result to finish off their season which has been a good one in many ways one being that we did not get relegated. The win at Wigan was a fantastic result and I really enjoyed the trip to Elland Road to see the Greens narrowly lose undeservedly to dirty Leeds.
