Fothergill at home

Match Abandoned 2 points each

Div 3

It seems that, with the exception of the top three (Broadway. Rochdalians and Fothergils) that the rest of the teams in the division, including ourselves don't want to break the 30 points for the season mark.
Check it out for your self on the NMCL site. It seems that the pack remain as tight together as ever and East Lancs are catching up!!!

The relegation battle gets trickier and trickier to avoid it would seem.
How many go down?

I'm sure 7 points from the last three would see us safe for another year.

Totty v's Failsworth

Good result on saturday, just a shame we lost!!
What a great scorer we had, just a shame she didn't get paid!!

Top Five?

At the time of writing this Danny has not yet posted the averages so it might be a load of old bollocks!

This season the batting has come on loads, I know I have mentioned this already but it worth further discussion.

Mike Jones has had a great season with some with a 75 and 66* being his best two scores

Mike Ainscoe has had a 64* and 52 (but he's on holiday and proberly won't score a thing when he returns, if last season is anything to go by).

Chris Payton limited appearances but has still posted a 39* and 48, hopefully more regular availability will see more of the same.

Stu Hunter I hope when he returns he maintains his excellent form with knocks of 87, 56, 43 already chalked up!

Nick Hudson only a one good score of 53 but looking good when he's been available and a matter of time before we see some more.

Matt Hunt no big score of note but some impressive starts that just need to be see through. If Matt could just take the step then he would be a welcome addition to the 'inform players'

So what does it mean? If we could manage to field all these players we would have a great protential and be a stronger team instead of being a team that's always looking at league survival.

Dream order?

1.Jones
2.Hudson
3.Ainscoe
4.Payton
5.Hunter
6.Hunt
7.?Smith?
8.?Fletcher N.?
9.?Moriarty.D?
10.?Pilkington?
11.?Holt?

What do you reckon?
if we had Cotton available then Dan might struggle. As you can see i think Rowdy would!
On performance this year I think I could well be troubling Robs treasured 11 spot!
