What We Did In The Hols
The V&A go on tour. Rather late in the day, here is a note on our first tour abroad, to the South of France. I don’t have a score book, I think we forgot it, but my memory is as acute as ever.

V&A v. The Bandits
Our 2016 (home) season came to an end against the Bandits with Lachlan Nieboer as our skipper. Electing to bat first on a stodge pit of a wicket, we promptly fielded first in miserable cold.
