Our Rockets were due to play at Hartlepool Under 9s Festival, but this was postoned due to the rain on Monday.
On Wednesday our game against Eppleton was also rained off.
Our game versus Coundon in the 1st round of the Norman Martin was rained off. As no date could be arranged before the deadline. So on a toss of the coin - Coundon moved to the next round.
On Thursday night we travelled to Horden in the Mid Week League. Horden had made a huge effort to get the game on despite the weather. We batted first on a track which was naturally damp after the recent rain. Both openers Jack Blake & Luke Richardson departed for 0, Grant Wilson 1, Gavin Snowball batted through for 27 not out, Gavin Terry 4, Ben Sims 0, Scot Taylor 10, Jon Arnold 6, Seb Miller 0, Gary Caisley 6 not out and Derrick Steinberg DNB - giving us 59 for 8. In reply we bowled out the hosts for 23. Scot Taylor 2 for 8, Derrick Steinberg 2 for 5, Gary Caisley 0 for 2, Jon Arnold 4 for 4 and Seb Miller 1 for 2.
On Saturday the second team had our free weekend. The first team hosted our nearest neighbours Littletown. We batted first reaching 174 for 9. Neil Matthews 23, Alan Maskell 9, Lee Henderson 54, Kieran Burrell 29, Conor Henderson 40, Jamie Parkinson 4, Scott Taylor 0, Chris Valance 2, Ben Mummery 1 not out, Rachael Petherick 5 not out and Derrick Steinberg DNB. After tea Littletown were bowled out for 29. Scott Taylor taking 5 for 18, Chris Valance 2 for 10 and Derrick Steinberg 1 for 0.
