we haven't half recruited some stinkers these past couple of years, but we have at least promoted to Div 4 for the first time ever.

It's 2nd (me) against 3rd (them). However, I'm safe and I'm not going to win the league so it's a bit of a look into about 2 or 3 seasons in the future. We're definitely not going to win this one.

Bit of a one-sided affair but there were some positives like Massey's 4-28 and Whitehead's 45 not out.

Promotion back up to Division 2 in T20 is secured, glad to get that out of the way.

Outrated opponent by 30k, still got thrashed!!!! Probably cost me 100k of prize money given how close our league is.

Going to lose today for sure, just need to hope it's not a hammering as we are 8 points ahead of of relegation rivals for the second spot to go down.

It's another 2nd v 3rd clash but I haven't picked my best team (although it's not far off) so I'm expecting to lose.

A good win for my side and it looks like we were stronger than I was expecting. Westerveld was the best of the bowlers with 3-34. House scored 57, Schmidt 50 not out, and Schneider 40 not out.

Looks like we'll almost certainly finish in the top 3.

Was never going to win today, but thankfully our relegation rivals lost as well, so we are safe now.

Home to Ruff Royals, won the toss and having a bat on sticky/humid. Think I might need to expand the stadium soon, only 6 short of a capacity crowd today!

[ddraig]

Tough game today, one which could make the difference between the teams that could win the league (unfortunately not me!)
