Maryport Match Result

Our run of bad luck continues with a 3.5 to 5.5 loss on our own turf.
Joe is finding it increasingly difficult to assemble teams for our matches as several of our regulars seem to be reluctant to volunteer their names. With the holiday season approaching he needs more names as we had to sign up a ringer on Thursday (the competition secretary) and it is a long time ago that we had any reserves.
Please support Joe.

Appleby Match Result

The good news is that it didn't rain. The other news is that we were beaten 3 games to 5 so hopefully we can improve for our home match against Maryport on Thursday.
