After a couple of league defeats against strong sides (Sandwich and St. Lawrence) the Under 15s needed a win against the combined Betteshanger / St. Margaret's team to kick start their season.  The omens weren't good when a couple of key players had to pull out on the morning of the game.

This Sunday 30th May, Sibton Park's new Senior Girls/Womens team will be opening the bar and putting on a BBQ (not free, but great value) to coincide with a friendly 25 over match against St. Lawrence and Highland Court Ladies  from 2pm.

Friends and families are welcome to come along so long as you give the caterers (via myself) forewarning of approximate numbers.

With fingers-crossed for some nice weather, we're looking forward to a good Bank Holiday Sunday at The Park, let me know numbers a.s.a.p Please.

Getting that perimeter grass shortened will become a much quicker job with the new Countax with its 42" cut, aluminium front and rear rollers, 4-blade advanced mulching deck and its top speed of 87mph. Go Andy!!

Fine margins is all it is - A good game for the spectator too.

Winning the toss, we batted. A good start by AA and George as the Blackheath bowlers struggled to get used to the pitch. However it was also difficult to score and after a decent start we found we were losing wickets and at 85 for 5 looked like we might be struggling. A decent innings by Bej for 41 brought it back with everyone else chipping in. The experienced James Hands bowled very well and the Sibton middle order struggled to rotate the strike and pick up runs, as we eventually limped to 155 for 9 after 50 overs, an under PAR score for sure- but how crucial had those few extra runs have been.............
