Hi All

On Saturday 29th October Keith and I attended the annual Surrey Cricket League Awards dinner on your behalf. There's no doubt that we are best suited to take one for the team by eating a nice chicken dinner.

We knew before hand that we had won the Division 1 Sportsmanship award and Keith duly picked up a nice little glass trophy.

This year the league had a new award to commemorate former chairman John Lloyds 30 plus years of service. Not surprisingly John wasn't there having been kicked out as chairman after all those years !  Apparently he choose sportsmanship as his theme for his annual award.

I am pleased to report that Wimbledon Village had the overall highest sportsmanship score in the whole league. So to our surprise on the night, I picked up the inaugural John Lloyd Trophy Cup on behalf of you all. Which I will bring along next year at some point before it has to go back next year. Don't worry, even though we are Village players we didn't drop either trophy !!

I think we all, including Dave and Ninja, contributed a little to these awards but I think you'll all agree with me that it was actually Ben, Bhu and particularly skipper Andy Downs who contributed massively and who really deserved these awards. Congratulations to you guys and of course who can forget Zac's Purple Helmet. Andy, Bhu, Ben and any others at Tate I might have missed, I salute you !!!

Regards

Mike Moran
