I was hoping to write this report regarding the 2005 season with some news of the opening cup game against Needham Market. Unfortunately, because Pettistree could not get a full team together, the match had to be conceded. After a recent meeting of players it was decided to withdraw from the Medite league but still to play in the Woodbridge mid-week league and cup games. We will also try and arrange more friendly fixtures, (to include the Sri Lankans later in the season), when hopefully we may have some more players available, i.e. those back home from University.
Despite losing several key players to larger clubs there is still a nucleus of cricketers who would very much welcome any new faces for friendly games.
Barnie Smith would be very pleased to introduce any new players, and can be contacted on 07884 328148
