Greenie leads the way

Steve Green
709 league runs

Well done to Steve Green who was the Club's leading run scorer in this year's Cherwell League. Greenie hit a total of 709 runs at an average of 59.08.  All his runs were scored playing for the 2nd XI in Division 3.  Unfortunately, his only innings in the 1st XI ended in him being run out for 0!

Rob Eason was the leading 1st XI batsman with a total of 597 runs at an average of 39.8.  Jimmy Phillips (482) and Shahbaz Ali (392) also made significant contributions.

In the 3rd XI, James Earnshaw made 225 runs at an average of 56.25 having played in just 5 matches. Skipper Robbie Cooke was the next highest run scorer with 210 at an average of 15.

The evergreen Derek Watts led the way for the 4th XI with 371 runs at an average of 37.1.  Gareth Hamilton provided the next best contribution with 202 runs.

The best league batting average, 75, belonged to Clive Ricks who was only out once in his 6 innings.  Pat Foster's average of 69.25 from 9 innings in Division 1 was perhaps a more notable achievement.
