Dear players and friends of the Lords Taverners,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has played and contributed to this season of the new look ‘Lords Taverners Buccaneers’. The season has been the best that I can remember in many years and this is all down to you for making the effort to play the game in the manner in which the game was intended to be played.

I would like to personally thank my right hand man Rob Craze (fixtures secretary) – Jessica Clilverd (Club Secretary) Robert Melhuish (Scorer) and Dan Heath (match manager) for going the extra mile. It would not have been the success it has been without you, Thank you.

The last game of the season couldn't have been any better - wonderful game played with some fabulous characters from the west end. The Stage CC is truly one of the last remaining entertainers on the circuit, well done to all the New Taverners who played in their first game. Thank you for your time and dedication to the charity.

Reminiscent of the Battle of Thermopylae, the brave and loyal LTB,LMS players fought hard. With only 5 players.....we took the game to the opposition with the batting - notable performances we from Henry Hazelwood and Callum Berrill. The Skipper, Wilson, tried to hold back the runs with a variation of spin and seam but alas the lack of fielders was our down fall. Glass proved himself as a up coming batsman and Chris kept well on a very unusual outfield! So close....next year we will succeed, well done guys.

Huge day in the Taverners fixture list, the President’s XI verse the Royal Household XI at Windsor Castle. With the Duke of Edinburgh as our patron it’s always a great fixture to play against the Queens ‘Royal Household XI.’ Unfortunately we lost AGAIN! Dennis proved too good for us, his advanced gr***de lobbing, was just too cunning, 6 – 52. Next year!!!

Good Luck to the Lord's Taverners LMS Semi finalists. Big Game on Wednesday!

The Lord's Taverners v Essex CCC. Our Chairman Richard Wilson and Buccaneers big hitter Callum Berrill played in the celebrity Team for the Ravi Bopara benefit game, Callum Hitting 98 (not out) from 7 over’s right under the noses of the Essex management!! Richard is still convinced he had Ravi on the run with his in swinging yorkers.....
