Good Cubby!
We would like to thank Adam Cubbage "Cubby" for both playing for Ditchling CC but also his massive contribution to the Junior Section. Admittedly, it helped that he was the same size as the under 11's but nevertheless he was a great addition to the coaching staff.
Cubby's cricketing highlight must be his 148no vs Eversley CC. Everley's own Australian cricketer was apparently a Grade 1 player and was run out by Alex Bone, aged 12 for just 24. prompting a chorus of "Dontcha wish your Ozzie was hot like ours, dontchaaa?"
Adam returns to Oz next week and he will be missed by everybody he palyed with and has met along the way. A great bloke, fine cricketer, lousy puller. Our little hairy cornflake will have one last evening of celebration before he departs and we'll be sure to send him off in true Ding-a-Ling style. Cheers Cubby!
2 out of 25 ain't bad?
The league season has finished. the 1st XI finished 3rd in East Sussex Division 1 - their highest finish and a great acjievement considering the league was very tight. In fact Newick finished just 35 point behind them, and had beaten us the week beofre - were relegated. The Naughty 2's ended up 5th in Division 3 - their highest position and keeps them as the highest placed 2nd XI in Sussex and means we have 2 teams in the top 25 in East Sussex. Our 3rd XI finished 4th and unfortunately missed out on promotion but it was also their highest finish in Mid Sussex Division 5. So all in all a very good season.
