Sunderland 124 for 1 (GVM 1-25)
at Old Habs, Sunday 26th June
Trevor May-who?
Newly retired batsman Trevor Mayhew turned up to watch LSSC’s tricky tie against Cincinatti. His brother Andy, over from Tokyo, was one of many who contributed to a fantastic win.
Nelson Cup hopes washed away
The Nelson Cup reverted to it’s traditional 3 team format but the skipper’s came up with an unusual rain effected schedule – alas no silverware for London Saints!
Cricket stories: Jack goes home!

High scoring at High Post!
Pete Rattue went round in an incredible 69 shots as he succesfully defended The London Saints Open at his home course, High Post near Salisbury.
‘Make ’em bacon sarnies and they will come!’
A superb game saw LSCC victorious in our first encounter with Roadrunners CC with 2 balls to spare. Trev and Tiger were the heroes but DJ managed to put a sour note on an otherwise superb day.
Roadrunners: 194-7 (Pearce 3-27)
LSCC: 198-3 (Mayhew 81)
