With this game being moved from an early May date to the first Sunday in July we are all expecting a high scoring game given the true wicket, fast outfield and short boundaries.

Jim as normal will be leading, what looks on paper to be, a well balanced Rosaneri team in what is scheduled to be a 40 over shoot out.  Pete Hurst comes back into the fold and Big Mike's mate from Lindsell CC 'Spare' Jim Suton pulls on the 'Pink & Black' for the very first time.

The match will start at 2:00 pm and players are advised to get to the ground by 1:30 pm for the pre-match banter and to hopefully get a sneak peak at how many home made cakes will be on offer at tea!

The address of the ground is: Thaxted CC, Bardfield End Green, Thaxted, Dunmow, Essex, CM6 3PZ and parking is in the field across the road for the square.
