League Saturday 8th September Second double header of the season with Penn & Tylers Green, 1st XI (188, A Rolls 118) recover from 41-7 and bowl them out for 152 (I Butt 5-38) thus holding on to third place and letting Taplow steal the title by one point. 2nd XI (132) fall to an agonising defeat, 6 runs short of visitors' total with overs to spare. The batting failed to capitalise on a good bowling performance so the title slipped away.
League Saturday 1st September Second double header of the season with Englefield, 60 points gained. 1st XI (264-9 T McGeer 80, M Fowler 66) used nine bowlers against home side's nine batsmen who succumbed for 219, 2nd XI (240-7 A Osinski 77, A Steel 51) easy winners, bowling out visitors for 144 (P Morgan 4-12). 10 points cover the top 3 with just one game left and as we are playing the second placed side, any win will ensure the championship as we have won one more game than Great Kingshill, so we will be top even if we finish level on points.
League Saturday 25th August Good weather, awful results, weakened 2nd XI (173-8) loose to bottom club Little Marlow (175-6) and fall back to 2nd place with only 19 points covering top 4. 1st XI (149) fall fowl of a disgraceful appeal followed by a horrendous decision from the visiting umpire when poised to beat Denham (155, C Morgan 4-51) and despite holding on to 3rd place are now only 25 points above the relegation zone.
League Saturday 18th August Another rain affected weekend, not many games with a result, both team's league positions remain unchanged.
League Saturday 11th August Dismal batting performance from most of 1st XI (127) ensures heavy defeat to resurgent Cookham Dean (129-4) but we still hang on to third place due tp Taplow's win over Englefield. Shorthanded 2nd XI (175-7) couldn't overhaul Little Kingshill's 196, but do enough to hold on to to top spot, but gap is down to 5.
League Saturday 4th August Second double header of the season with Winchmore Hill, this time the weather is fine and the batting holds up. 1st XI (173, A Rolls 87*) again bat as a one man team but Winchmore (111) can't keep out Chris Morgan (3-21) and Imran Butt (4-26) (match report) . Taplow edge another point away but a shock result sees previously winless Cookham Dean beat runaway leaders Penn & Tylers. 2nd XI again bowl out Winchmore for one twenty something, this time Andy Steel matches the entire team's score from last time and we cruise home by 7 wickets to open up a gap at the top.
League Saturday 28th July Second double header with Chalfont St. Giles, only 10 wickets taken in 1st XI (205-6, A Rolls 87) game, Chalfont's batting (267-4) takes the lions share of the points, but still we close a little on Taplow, but the pack behind is bunching up with only 11 points separating 4th and 8th. 2nd XI (155 all out) loose by 5 wickets but still remain top by one point, again courtesy of Penn & Tyler's decision to bowl first -only 27 points cover the top six.
League Saturday 21st July Another rain affected day, only five games completed. Couldn't have fallen much worse for 1st XI (152-4 in 32 overs, M Fowler 62, A Rolls 59), an almost certain victory over close rivals Braywood (65-5 in 15 overs) was taken away by the rain whilst only a few miles away Taplow racked up 29 points). 2nd XI (160-6, A Osinski 82) managed enough overs for a result but not enough for a win over Great Kingshill (78-4) but still slightly extended their lead.
League Saturday 14th July Second double header against Taplow, 1st XI (210-9, A Rolls 84*) getting better at chasing, still not up to catching Taplow's 236-9 (I Butt 4-38), but gain enough points to sneak into third place. 2nd XI (142) shoot out opposition for 84 and climb back to the top of the division, thanks to Penn & Tyler's decision to bowl first.
League Saturday 7th July Finally, a nice day, though still many low scores across the league. Both Holyport XIs back to winning ways against Englefield. 1st XI batting (147-7) still not convincing chasing 146 (match report) but 2nd XI (192) dominant over bottom placed side (59). Other results not kind to us so progress up the table limited.
League Saturday 30th June Total washout - 5 points for everyone
Sunday 24th June - Washout!
League Saturday 23rd June Lots of rain about again, 1st XI washed out at tea, other results did not go our way so have dropped to sixth (last weeks league table was wrong we should have been in 4th with 88 points), 2nd XI batting again implodes spectacularly to 62 all out chasing Winchmore's 124 all out but we hang on to fourth place.
Sunday 17th June - Double header with Cookham Dean - 1st XI collapse to 15 for 7, eventually 'recovering' to 123 (M Fowler 62) to lose the John Platt Cup by 114. 2nd XI fair better with 9 men and 1 woman all out for 168 (A Murdoch 58) chasing 171 (A Murdoch 4-25).
League Saturday 16th June Lots of rain about, except at Holyport, the only thing worse than the 1st XI result (Penn & Tylers Green 186 all out, P Morgan 4-39, Holyport 72 all out, having been 62 for 2 - exceptional even by our historical standards) which strangely enough moved them up to second place was the 2nd XI result (Holyport 77 all out, Penn & Tylers Green 78-3) which dropped them to fourth.
Sunday 10th June - Double header with Eversley. 1st XI 156 all out chasing 234-4, 2nd XI 162-9 (G Gould 55) chasing 208-7.
League Saturday 9th June Our week off along with Taplow, 1st XI only drop one place but 8 points now cover 2nd to 6th. 2nd XI remain top due to Great Kingshill crushing Wraysbury and Little Kingshill holding out against Penn & Tylers Green.
Sunday 3rd June - Only enough players to run one XI, strongish 2nd XI 202-8 (T Head 55) beat Boyne Hill 170 all out.
League Saturday 2nd June Undefeated 1st XI (181 all out in 44.5) up to 3rd after just managing to triumph over Coleshill (161 all out in 51.5) (match report). 2nd XI (116-4) take over on top of their division after crushing Wraysbury (115 all out, D Varney 5-56).
Sunday 27th May - Washout!
League Saturday 26th May 1st XI (232-7 A Pyle 66*, P Davies 52) couldn't quite force a win at a damp Denham (195-9, T Hayes 4-29) (match report). 2nd XI (188, A Steel 117) up to second place after a team performance to bowl out Little Marlow (148).
Sunday 20th May 1st XI (156-4 M Bond 96*) won well at Stokenchurch (155 all out)
League Saturday 19th May Double header vs Chalfont St. Giles, 1st XI (159-7) again disappointing chasing 248-5 (match report). 2nd XI (225-7) needed 1 run from last two balls to win but did not get it, so finished level, had they been bowled out they would have got 10 more points (hands up anyone who thinks that is sensible!)
Sunday 13th May - Washout!
League Saturday 12th May After a decent start after the rain the 1st XI (107-7 in 36 overs) yet again fail to get the best of a game at Taplow (201-9) (match report) but still below strength 2nd XI (108-1, T Head 54*) turn the tables and rout Taplow 2nd XI (107 all out, D Varney 5-25).
Sunday 6th May 1st XI (146-9, extras 43!) squashed by Cranbourne 147-3 in 21.3 overs
League Saturday 5th May 1st XI (200-9) start strongly (match report) with a maximum points win over Braywood (153 all out, P Morgan 5-75) , weak 2nd XI trounced at Great Kingshill.
Sunday 29th April 1st XI (145 all out, A Rolls 65) routed at Datchet (150-1 in 12 overs!)
Saturday 28th April 1st XI (193-8, I Butt 54) beat Sandhurst (129 all out), 2nd XI lost to Knotty Green, A Osinski breaking his foot.
Sunday 22nd April 1st XI (242-9, I Butt 75, A Pyle 55) beat Theale & Tilehurst (176-5)
Saturday 21st April 1st XI (204-6, M Fowler 64) beat Waltham St. Lawrence (175 all out, P Morgan 4-25, L Mahjan 4-36). 2nd XI (187-8, A Osinski 54) also beat Waltham St. Lawrence (109 all out, P Jheeta 3-3, D Varney 3-10, G Gould 3-12)
