In what is already a promising looking start to the season, this Saturday the Club is fielding 8 teams on Saturday. The Red Caps (7th XI) are now joined by the Bexley Wayfarers. I can't remember when the former Wayfarers ceased to be but through the hard work and efforts of the Cricket Committee and the commitment of our playing members along with the young colts champing at the bit to play senior cricket, we have done it.....8 teams (with a few to spare). Despite the best efforts of the Cricket Committee it is too late to be entered into league cricket this season but next year, if the trend continues, the 7th XI Red Caps could certainly be playing in the Kent Regional League.
None of this is easy and already selection for the teams, certainly at the lower end, is challenging for the selectors. But it will give the opportunity for more playing members to play cricket and introduce our younger colts to the senior game and all that goes with it.
We wish the Wayfarers all the best for Saturday against Beckenham 4th XI!!
See you all at the Club Saturday evening.
