The 2011 season will not go down as a vintage one, but the Week was a success. A lot of runs were scored and victories were recorded against Staffs Gents and Sutton Coldfield CC. The Cricketer Cup on the other hand was not a good effort, the team losing badly to Sherborne. They know that they are better than this performance showed and I am sure they will return next year fully prepared to put matters right. The draw for 2012 will take place during the break of the final between Old Malvernians and Eton Ramblers on Sunday 14th August. Perhaps the competition organisers will get Pippa Middleton to draw the numbers out of the hat!

The dinner date for 2012 has been fixed for Friday 23 March, but we still have not got a venue. Lord's are asking £3000 room hire charge so we are looking at other venues

The Pilgrims bowed out of the Cricketer Cup this year with a poor performance against Sherborne. Sherborne were in trouble at 106-6, but poor fielding and bowling allowed the toal to reach 199-7 after 50 overs. Pilgrims looked in a good position t 71-1 but a run out and an unplayble delivery meant that Paget and Batty were back in the pavilion in quick succession. We then managed only 30 runs off the next 18 overs. But after Siddique and Crowther were out runs per over meant risks had to be taken. In the end we we ended on 189-9.

We are a better side then this and the players know it.
