2026 mini review
The 1s. The 2025 season saw the first team fall short of promotion in the last month of the season. So we knew we could do it with a small improvement.
And that is exactly what happend. The first team spent about 85% of the season at the top of league. We faced the team in 3rd very often, beat them, then played the new team in 3rd the next week. We managed to keep everyone else at arms length away from us. A perfect May, slight wobble in June, and just one defeat in July and August combined. No falling short this year, we powered to the league title with good margin of victory. 11 wins, 3 defeats and 1 tie.
The 2s.
2024 promoted from div 6. 2025 stayed up with a week to spare. 2026 was a hard season, possibly the most tight league in the Hampshire cricket league. But we stayed up just about. After the 4th July we were somehow 2nd in the league winning 5 out of 7 games played. We knew we were higher then we should be. But then a disaster of a run, mainly caused by lack of runs and not getting the last few wickets cheaply. Loss after loss, we went from 2nd top to 2nd from bottom. It all came down to last week. Last chance to get out relegation zone before todays predicted rain. And we won just, 7 balls to go.We did it, by the skin of our teeth. A huge win.
2026, operation get the 1s promoted. Tick. And champions to boot. Keep the 2s up, tick, just.
League stats. The ones nice and simple. The twos had a game played cancelled, as the oppo fell fail of league rules. So ive re added the stats from that played league game, which were then wiped.
