A preview of this weekend’s matches at the field of dreams...(and beyond) in what promises to be another amazing few days for the club as we get to the ‘business end’ of the season:

“SUPER” SATURDAY! (14 March)
So it comes down to this...the Main Event at New Road this Saturday is at 2pm. Top of the table Men’s 2s take on 2nd place Cheltenham, one of only two teams to have beaten our boys this year. A title decider in the penultimate game of the season. Matt Tait’s boys need just a point from the game to take the ‘Marches 1’ league title after securing promotion last week – but knowing these guys, they’ll be going all out for a win. Come down, bring the noise and be part of the #bluearmy for the day.

The undercard for the main event is pretty juicy too. VMC’s ladies 2nd XI take on bottom club North Wilts at 1030, followed by Wotton’s young lions (or er, Badgers...) at 1200 who also entertain Cheltenham.

Meanwhile, on the road:
Jasmine George’s Ladies 1s travel to OBs (1100) knowing that a point would guarantee them the Berkeley 1 league title. Jas’s team are unbeaten in the league to date this season!
Mens 1s travel across the Bridge (again!) this time to take on Cardiff Uni, ahead of their own potential title decider versus Hereford at home next week.
Mens 3s have a massive game of their own away to local rivals Stroud as they look to keep their own promotion hopes alive!

HOME (New Rd/KLB)
Ladies 2s v North Wilts (1030)

Mens 2s v Cheltenham (1400)

NOT ENOUGH FOR YOU? OK THEN, SUNDAY (15 March):
Both our u10 boys (am) and u10 girls (pm) travel to Dean Close School for the Glos HA Finals – good luck to both these teams!!!
The Girls u16sVixens play Cirencester at home at 11am
Later that afternoon we are running our own u12s girls tournament at New Rd (2-4pm) as we entertain teams from Thornbury, Ciren & Bath Buccs.

Exhausted? You should be...
Good luck everybody and enjoy the weekend!

Stuart Emms, Chairman
