First XI Promoted, Second & Third XIs Safe

07/09/09

Congratulations to the first XI, a tense 2-wicket win at Banbury XX ensuring that Dinton will compete in the Home Counties Premier League in 2010.
Thame’s survival in the HCPL means only one team will be relegated from each division of the Cherwell League, reprieving both the second and third XIs after their losses at the weekend.

Junior Awards Thursday September 3

03/09/09

The annual junior awards presentation is due to take place at the club this evening from 6:30pm.
It looks as if the weather will cooperate, but because of the dodgy forecast earlier this week we'll not be running the barbecue this evening.
Come along to review the season and celebrate team and individual successes. We should finish by 7:15pm at the latest. The first training session will run from 5:45pm to 6:25pm, but there will be no formal training for the second session.

It Couldn't Be Much Closer...

01/09/09

It's the final day of the Cherwell League season this coming Saturday, and all three sides have fights on their hands.
The first XI are one match away from promotion to the Home Counties Premier Cricket League for the first time in the club's history. Seven points at home to Horspath in last Saturday's drawn match mean that Dinton are level with Buckingham at the top of Division 1 , but ahead of them by virtue of having a better record in head-to-head matches this season.
Meanwhile, the second XI face a relegation battle with Witney Mills in Division 3 and the third XI need to keep their distance above the relegation zone in Division 8.
Good luck to all three teams.
