T he season got off to an excellent start with a good victory away at Winsley. Unfortunately we could not manage to follow this up and went on an unexpected and dreadful losing streak which by the end of July saw us languishing 2nd from bottom with the distinct possibility of relegation staring us in the face.
However a strong August which saw us go unbeaten meant in the end we finished in a comfortable mid-table position, which with all factors being taken in to account was a credible finish. Good contributions with the bat came from Dan Watson, Mat Watson, Bill Johnson, Jim Creed, Jeremy Bond and Russell Lodge. With the ball the outstanding performers were Ben White, Tom Lamb, Jeremy Bond and Bill Johnson.

During the season we had a large quantity of players which we used to try and find the winning formula and in the end the injection of some younger blood into the team really helped and they were like a breath of fresh air.One thing I would like to point out is the excellent team spirit which we had in the first team, even whilst on our losing streak the attitude and the way we all gelled really was the hi-point of the season for myself.

I firmly believe that Marshfield CC have hit our bottom and the signs are very positive for the coming seasons, with facilities being improved, it always puts us in a stronger position to keep our more talented kids. On concluding I would like to thank Russell Lodge for doing all my donkey work, Nick Heynan as chairman for his continued support, all the tea ladies who continue to produce the best, Chris Watson for doing the scoring everyweek but most of all the club as a whole and all my friends who really helped myself to start enjoying my cricket again,
Thanks to you all
Dan Watson.
