We have another two critical games this weekend and are lucky to have two of the strongest teams we have managed to put out this year. Our aim this weekend is to secure the safety of both teams.

In the 1s we welcome back Junior and Raggy to our line-up. With Will Dixon making himself un-droppable after a couple of awesome performances he retains his place. Last week was a real team performance, probably one of our best all round performances of the season. It was also great to welcome back Jamie Self for his first game of cricket in nearly two years, he has even managed to shake off the sore muscles and turns out again on Saturday! We will be hoping for another strong showing from the top order and a continuation of some great bowling displays.

The 2s have been very youthful this year, whilst this is great for the future, I feel the balance of senior players and youth is rightly addressed this week with better availability in the 1s meaning a few more senior players being available for the 2s. I therefore hope that with Joey, Juan, Jack and Tom D joining some of our more regulars 2s players we have a strong enough side to bring home the win this weekend.

Go well lads
