The ‘B’ Team had their final match of the season in divsion 2 against Noak Hill.

Rainham bowled first and Charlie Puncher was the pick taking 3 wickets with consistent Tyler bunn adding a further wicket as Noak Hill were dismssed for 70 runs.

Joe Attfield and Ronnie Jackson got off to a graet start with both adding over 20 runs each, with Joe being dismissed and Ronnie retiring.  With a solid platform created by the openers it just required some sensible batting to see the ‘B’ team to victory which was provided by Charlie Puncher with 8 not out and a final indoor match win.

It is likely the ‘B’ team will finish second in the league, which is an excellent achievement taking into account tougher opposition this season and a very young team playing every week. Special mention to Tom Herbert for taking on the captaincy and making it an enjoyable indoor season. 

 

 

 

In their penultimate fixture the ‘B’ team took on Harold Park and duly lost the toss and were put into bat. Ronnie and in-form Charlie Puncher were the pick of the batsmen both scoring in the high 30s in a total of 105 all out.

 

Ronnie then capped a fine individual display by adding 3 Park wickets with good support from Tyler, 2 wickets, and Callum Bennett 1 wicket to dismiss the opposition for 95.

The final match for the ‘B’ team will be against Noak Hill on 14th February.

The seniors have already secured their tour and will be playing Trowbridge on Saturday and Warminster on Sunday. The tour will be dependant of the numbers interested in attending. The cost will be approx. £50 per person plus travel costs and food.
