At the start of this season I very much fancied our chances of winning the U11’s league but this was somewhat scuppered by the now familiar start pattern to our season, when due to lack of players the very first game against Failand & Portbury, last years champions, had to be called off because we only had 4 or 5 players available and could not be raise a team! Then in the next 2 games we could only muster scratch sides, including several KWIK cricketers, so losing both quite heavily, in the event one of them to Clevedon who finished up undefeated League Champions after being the 2003 runners up.

However, these were to be our only defeats, winning 9 consecutive games, until the very last game of the season when we lost the runners up spot clash to W-S-M Wizards. However, if F & P don’t get round to playing and winning their outstanding game then we will remain in our very commendable third spot as the table below shows. Match summaries are at the end of this report.

This has been a great performance given that in no game was our strongest team available to be fielded so credit for this not only goes Chris Strong & Steve Blanchard (in his first season as Assistant Manager) but also to Captain Archie Wall, who showed a great maturity for his age, and used his players to the great advantage getting the best out of them on the pitch.

I must mention too the roles played by Rob Cox, and Simon Chamberlain when on some occasions they took over the reins for the League team when either Chris or Steve could not make the games, but more so for managing our less experienced players in a series of mid/end of season friendly games which were arranged to make up for their lack of league games involvement.

My special thanks to Alan Barwick on the KWIK cricket front, without whom I don’t know what we would have done this season, after having been so badly let down by our coach! Alan has been responsible for organizing their coaching and proficiency tests and next season has agreed to take the ECB Level 1 coaching course and, if passed, become our official Club Coach, at all levels.

Finally my appreciation to all the parents who helped with the refreshment duties, transportation etc, without whose support we would find it hard to cope. Finally we must mention our Youth Sponsors recorded above whose contributions are a big help in funding all our teams activities and last but not least thanks to our groundsman Fid without whom we could not play the games.
