The first two months of the season have seen consistently strong performances from the Club's senior
teams, both securing five wins in their first six league matches.

The 1st XI, reaching third place in Division 1, have also been successful in their two Cup competitions; Grendel were beaten by 49 runs and Nailsea 3rds by 7 wickets as the team moved into
the quarter finals of the North Somerset Twenty20, and, causing a major upset with a thrilling last over
victory away to Bridgwater 3rds, they also won a last eight place in the Somerset Minor Cup.

Mike Clements has provided a backbone to the 1sts' batting line-up, Micky Edmunds has turned in several vital all-round performances, and there have also been important contributions from a number of their team mates.

The 2nd XI's winning run has taken them to first place in their division, and has featured several fine
innings from Steve Bright, including an exceptional unbeaten 116 against Brislington 4ths. Younger members of the team have also featured strongly, particularly Lewis Yule and Sam Fowkes.

The Under 15s have moved to third place in their league, and having lost decisively to Weston in their Cup semi-final, secured revenge the following week with a last ball win in the league match against the same opposition. Jack Fairs has produced impressive batting and bowling performances, and skipper Lewis Yule has also batted well.

In the Under 13s, Alex Agar has chalked up two undefeated 40s.

There will be Saturday afternoon fixtures at the Rec throughout July and August, starting at 2pm, plus
home 'A' team friendly matches on 1, 8, 15 and 22 July, 2 and 16 August.

Match results, scorecards and details of all fixtures can be viewed on the 'wrington.play-cricket.com' website.

Club nights will continue throughout the season on Tuesday evenings, with net sessions followed by an open bar in the Sports and Social Club. All are welcome to attend. The Club's annual dinner and awards evening will be on Friday 18 September.

The third annual Micky Ball Cricket Day will take place at the Rec on Sunday 5 July, and will feature teams representing Wrington CC, Winscombe Rugby Club, Alvis Bros, Yeo Valley Farms and, debutants this year, Athletico Wrington FC, competing for the Micky Ball Memorial Shield. The day will start at 10 am and the participants will take part in a series of 10-over matches, leading to a final between the two most successful teams. A match between Wrington Veterans and Wrington Juniors is also planned.

The Club bar will be open during the day's cricket and in early evening there will be a pig roast, courtesy of Alvis Bros, to which all those coming to the Rec to watch the cricket will be welcome. Do join us - last year we had wonderful weather and a great day's cricket, and we are planning for more of the same this year.
