The Islands Senior team had the honour of playing Derbyshire in a very early pre-season game at Newclose in March. Watching Derbyshire train for three days, you got a real appreciation of the hard work and most importantly the quality of there training, showing the islands youngster that you never stop improving how ever good you maybe. The senior team found themselves in the final of the Reader’s Sovereign Trophy, where they lost to the Mid Essex League by 98 runs in the final at Teddington CC. The Annual MCC game was unfortunately affected by the weather. The Islands County Age group Squads once again found the going very tough out there, but even through we lost many games, we saw some success and a steady progress across all age groups. Adam Hose lead the Under 17 to a first innings win against Dorset at Newclose, with Tommy Barton hitting 89 not out and Adam scoring 87. Marco Mills topped the bowling against Dorset with 5-34 off 12 overs. There were many other good performances in the other games, like Cameron Mitchell scoring 96 against Gloucestershire, James Cheek 71 off the bat and 4-65 with the ball against Berkshire. The Under 15 and 13 both had extremely tough seasons in their respective ECB competitions. The 15’s managed a hard fought draw against Oxfordshire. The 13’s did not manage a win in the ECB competition but competed hard all season long and showed considerable development through out the year. Our under 11 team had a shortened season as games fell foul to the weather and only completed 3 games, but won against South Wiltshire CC, Jadon Buckeridge top scoring with 53 and Ben Duggan 46. The Malvern Festival was the destination for the Under 10’s once again. The boys played three games over the 4 days with some excellent individual performances, which bodes well for the future. The Under 13 & 15 Girls completed their season showing some great improvement, and won three games this year. Alex Barton was the pick of the girls being select to trial for the Junior Super Twos. The disabled team won their league with a 100% record and reach the Semi Finals where they lost a well-spirited game to Cheshire at Shanklin CC. The Board would like to say a massive thank you to all the Team Managers, Coaches, Umpires and Scorers, Sponsors and Parents for making it possible to complete the Islands County Teams programme. With out this support it would make the season impossible to complete.
