Positive start to another busy week.

Our under 12s kept up there positive start the season with a victory over Himley mainly due to an all round tight bowling performance.

The under 10s narrowly lost to a strong oldswinford side at the Bratch but there were plenty of positives to take for our young side.

Also great to see such brilliant attendances for both our blossoming ladies and girls sections training.
