 It was a pity to lose but a great achievement to get to the last 32 teams in the country, and everyone is looking forward to next season's tournament, when perhaps a new sponsor may have been found. The Lacey Green Colts Team is also having a fine season, and with only two games to go they are top of the league, and undefeated, a great tribute to the boys and those who give up their Saturday mornings and Wednesday evenings to coach them. Their promise and enthusiasm is already showing, as many of them now play on Saturdays for the Reserve team.

-This year's cricket season has now passed the half-way stage and it leaves behind it mixed successes. In the Mid-Bucks League, both teams are in the middle order of their tables, neither showing enough consistency to stake claims for the championship. It was a similar story in the Knock-out Cup as well, the 1st team losing to Prestwood in a closely fought game. Prestwood batted first, scoring 114 runs. In reply we also scored 114, but the last batsman was run out off the last ball. The Reserve team, you may remember, set out as defending champions, but alas they too were defeated in the first round by Great Kingshill.
