Good victory for the Sunday side yesterday lifts us out of the relegation zone!

We beat Harlington by 6 wickets. We restricted the oppo to 88, @Ben_wiles4 finishing with figures of 8-4-4-3.

The Ward brothers seeing us home with a 48 run partnership.

Disappointing weekend as we lost both our Saturday and Sunday games. Positive yesterday to see Shaun get his first 50 for the club with an 83! Hopefully more to come there!

Onto next Saturday to try and stop the rot and #winforwardy

Huge, huge credit to @abbotslangleycc 3s yesterday for the most amazing show of sportsmanship.

Could’ve easily asked to leave the field due to rain after the 15th over but persevered through it to ensure a result despite being on the wrong side of it.

What cricket’s about 👏🏻

[Offley & Stopsley Cricket Club @OSCricketClub]

Back to back Saturday wins!!

For the first time in what feels like forever, we’ve won back to back league games on a Saturday! That’s 3/3 across both leagues 🤯

Onto today where we’re in T20
Village trophy action away at Kimpton.

Up the Offley!

[Offley & Stopsley Cricket Club @OSCricketClub]

Like London buses then! Yesterdays first win in forever followed up with another today.

@Ben_wiles4 star of the show today. 95 with the bat and 3 for 19 with the ball!

With that, we aren’t bottom any more 😍

🚨 WE WON A GAME OF CRICKET!! 🚨

Today, for the first team since 3rd August 2024, we actually won a competitive game of cricket.

The fact that this tweet is going out at 1am suggests that some over celebrating was done. Go on the boys!!

[Offley & Stopsley Cricket Club @OSCricketClub]

We’re still on the look out for more players for our Saturday and Sunday XIs for this season.

If anyone hasn’t got a club yet this season or wants to get back into the game, get in touch!!

Yesterday we said goodbye to a club legend Keith Towndrow. Fantastic cricketer, fantastic bloke. You'll be sorely missed mate.

Great effort from all those that travelled up to see him off, I hope we did him proud.
