Despite the weather looking unsettled a large crowd (by Little Staughton standards) turned out to see Caleb Saunderson's chapel XI take on the unbeaten Little Staughton side. The chapel batted first and reached over 120 with some wickets to spare. The Staughton side all bowled at least one over each with the youngest being under 10 years old and the oldest being over 60, bowling 2 overs each. The team was carefully captained by James Hopperton with added sledging from vice captain Jody Arch. Jody scored the highest score and knocked two balls right out of the ground. Will Newell celebrated his birthday with the second highest. During the last 10 overs the chapels target started to look out of sight but an exciting last few overs saw a close victory to Staughton.

Dear Jason & James,
A big thank you for last evening’s game. I think it was thoroughly enjoyed by all and both played and umpired in the right spirit. Congratulations on a deserved win. Of 3 games, we’ve now lost 2 and won 0 tied 1, so we’ll have to try harder next year.
Wishing you further success for the rest of the season.
Caleb
