The Women’s game and the Bank Holiday fixture against the Tom Hughes XI have been abandoned.

No cricket this week, let’s hope for a lot better next week!

It comes to absolutely no one’s surprise that all the Saturday Senior Games have been abandoned 😓 however, the Women’s team will be at Eldon Drive tomorrow, and the Tom Hughes fixture on Bank Holiday Monday is also at Eldon Drive.

Here are some end of season updates!

The 5th XI finish 8th in Division 11 West, whilst the 4th XI place 6th in Division 9 West.

There are two more league games for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd XI.

The 1st XI can finish as high as 3rd in the Warwickshire Premier League, and will need to beat Leamington and Rugby to stand a chance of doing that.

The 2nd XI must win their next two games to stay in the hunt for promotion from Division 4, and face Castle Bromwich next Saturday at Eldon Drive. The 2nd XI will travel to Rugby on the final day of the season.

The 3rd XI are all but safe in Division 7 West, but would like positive results against Coleshill and Wishaw to finish a positive season on a high.

The forecast looks slightly friendlier on Bank Holiday Monday, as a friendly XI will play against the Tom Hughes XI! The game starts at 12pm at Eldon Drive, be sure to come down and watch - Aston Villa v Arsenal is also on at 8pm!

Walmley Teamsheets 29th August

We would love the rain to stay away, so we can watch Walmley’s all time leading run scorer Callum Herron makes his long awaited return to the 1st XI! The 2nd XI are chasing promotion, and the 3rd XI will want a positive result to secure their status in Division 7 West. The 4th XI will be led by Adarsh Mishra in their last game of the season.

Up the Wammers 💙💛
