Almost everything went to plan with wins by the 1st, 2nd and 3rd XIs. However, a clean sweep did not quite come our way. The 4th XI struggled valiantly away but just failed to hold out for a draw when the last man was dismised just two balls from the end of the match.

The 1st XI's crushing 9 wicket win, impressive though it was, only enabled them to maintain their single point lead at the top of the Championship after main rivals Wimbledon won their match against Reigate Priory by 4 wickets. The 3rd XI also maintained their one point lead, again over Wimbledon, with the 2nd XI maintaining their 2nd place in the league.

Coincidentally, Toby Roland-Jones was taking 2 of his 5 first innings wickets while the draw was in progress. This proved a good omen as Sunbury averted the away fixture to Ventnor with the privilege for that journey falling to Malden Wanderers.

Stayin' Alive Rock Events came up trumps on Thursday evening with an act to die for. Alan Lovell (Swinging Blue Jeans), Mick Avory (The Kinks), John Dee (The Foundations) and Del Mandel (Crispian St. Peters/George Harrison) emptied the tables and filled the aisles. The many, now near pensionable, 'Children of the 60s' filling Sunbury Cricket Club were sent home happy but exhausted. Recalling their moves to the classic 60s rock - possibly for the first time in more than a generation - these are children with aching muscles the morning after.

Moving seamlessly between sentimental anthems such as Hey Jude and the frenzied rhythms of Johnny Be Good, our 60s heroes pumped it out on a backlit stage in an intimate setting worthy of their roots. A privilege for us all.

Trevor is one of the youngest overseas players we have had and we look forward to sharing his 19th birthday with him during the Summer. His home Club is Sturt CC in Adelaide. We hope their Members will enjoy following his progress in the various sections under the Senior Cricket tab of our website.

We were also privileged to have 8 hardworking NatWest staff from their Hounslow and Kingston branches who devoted the whole of Friday 8th May to give a final boost to complete our work.

A decsion will be made shortly about the next stage in the sale process.

Older members will remember Bill Moore from some 20 years ago as an agressive and athletic middle order batsman and wicket keeper. He was known as an action man and had served with the Parachute Brigade.
