Saturday XI vs Swindon 2nd XI
Bears 153-8 45 overs
Swindon 154-2 30.4 overs
A different-look Bear Flat side suffered a chastening home defeat at the hands of Swindon 2s at the ground formerly known as The Fortress on Saturday.
The Saturday XI are back at Fortress Glasshouse this weekend to host Swindon 2nd XI, a team we’ve had very mixed fortunes against.
It has to be said that one of the regular Saturday teamers, who has possibly been associated with Bear Flat Cricket Club longer than any other player, is also one of the most modest, the club Secretary Chris Bence (Bencey).
As the dust began to settle on the Bears’ emphatic 136 run victory over rivals Winsley, a palpable sense of relief descended over the spent bodies gathered in the away changing room; the new month ushering in a renewed sense of optimism.
The Saturday XI travel to the stunning home of Winsley CC for this weekend’s game where it is hoped there is rather less drama than the corresponding fixture last season resulting in the narrowest of victories. Check out the pre-match preview and come along to support The Bears…
