Saturday was our last pre season match.

The game was put back by an hour and we played a 40 over match. We won the toss and put them in. The wind was howling thanks to Storm Hannah. We restricted them to 122 from their 40 overs.

We knocked them off with the loss of 2 wickets

I finished up on 29 no with my skipper who was 47no A good confidence booster for the up coming season

Sunday side won comfortably. Got out for 0 to an absolute grubber, kicking myself.

Lost on Saturday in some of the worst playing conditions I've ever played in. We scored 180 for 5 from 45 overs and the opposition knocked them off for the lost of 3 wickets with plenty of overs to spare. As a 3XI we are a mixture of the older (40+) and the younger (Under 18's). After a decent season last year we look like serious relegation candidates (although only 1 team goes down this year). We play in the division above @SOULMAN1012 and it's a decent jump in standard from division 5 to 4 (which Chris will no doubt experience next year - although he is a fine player and will have no issues).

On a personal level I scored 67 before running myself out.

tough first game yesterday vs @19reading87 and my saturday side, in a memorial game.

got a hammering and but a really good day.

mixed feelings really as the opposition opener (and league team mate) hit his first 100 and the top order all looked in good form going into our league season so pleased in that regard.

First game as full time captain which i think went ok, fielding positioning needs some work but made sure everyone got a go which is what Sundays are about for us.

personally bowled ok and hit a very rusty 15, dodgy lbw decision got me, hit above the knee roll going back to a leg spinner, going over, but thats the game!!

onto next sunday and a team more to our standard!

You were plumb!!

It was high! Well above knee roll!

Not as plumb as our number 9!?! Who claimed to have hit it!

Interesting to hear @JTtaylor145 as we played Maldon on Sat who cam down from Div 4 last year and i must say i was surprised how poor the bowling was. Batting wise the players we solid enough but no intent. Speaking to most, the opinion seems to be there is very little between Div5 AND DIV 4 and the difference is from 3 and above and it gets much harder from 3 to 2, 2 to 1 and then of course the Prem of which i have a little experience of is just a real high level of cricket

No @SOULMAN1012 there is a big difference between 4 and 5. There are some very weak teams in division 5 (more than 2-3) whereas in division 4 you tend to only get 1 weak side each season. There is a bigger gap even between divisions 4-3 and beyond. Battisford would be very competitive in division 4. I would average between 50-70 in division 5 and about 40-50 in division 4, but I'm crap - so you should be averaging 60+ in division 4.

Chris Rushworth filled his boots on Saturday in the lower Durham leagues

Bloody hell rotation! Must be some club for players to be happy doing that!

I'm not sure that anyone was overjoyed but we've got a good group who all get on well so we just get on with it. Meant I could plan some stuff to do with the kids which was good

I�ll second that, the gulf between 1-4 is pretty big! Like JT says, you�ll get one weak side who aren�t competitive in the slightest and possibly one runaway side but then everyone else can beat everyone
Hopefully get to play you this season @JTtaylor145

We are 2 from 2 in the league after chasing 185 in 30 overs on Saturday.
On a personal level was cleaned up for 7 by a decent inswinging yorker from a South African chap. Wasnt too disappointed as it meant I could get some extra layers on and I even fetched said bowler heat spray and ~~laxatives~~ painkillers when he twinged a calf later in the day

Nope, I am life member but I don't play at Marlow anymore. But it would of been a good place for you to have considered. I assume you live the other side of the m40 so not as local as becky.

Im in Chalfont St Peter, so like you say the other side of the m40. Looking forward to seeing some new grounds this season, Banbury was lovely on Sunday.

Shocker of a start to the season for me today for uni

Came in at 90-3 after 20 in a 40 overs game. Got squared up twice by their first change bowler before being plumb LBW to a full toss from the spinner for a 7 ball duck.

We made 150 in the end and it was never gonna be enough with a 30 yard leg side boundary. They chased it in 22 and we were awful with the ball

Hopefully a better one on Saturday for me!

Good start to the season for our lot,bowled the oppos out easily on a decent track for 65, some double barrelled old bloke got a few, but that was it,,,and we knocked em off no bother,,sat in the clubhouse at 5pm having tea!!
But oh my word I�m suffering now, after bowling nine overs
