The second and NYSD league eleven still look for their first win but recent high scoring draws and a tie reviews has seen a slow but steady climb away from the bottom two. The third eleven still maintain good form and last weekend had a great win over the Player profile— 3 Emily Bonham a R.A. lets hope all teams maintain their current form. We now are heavy star for the future? into cup matches and I know it is difficult for all players to manage their time but to maintain our form we still need to practice and over the last Big Fun Day Advert 3 few weeks it as been disappointing to see lack of numbers at senior nets . Selection for teams is proving very difficult at present and the selection committee are aware of players feelings when selecting the three senior Senior Team re- 4 sides, at the end of selection we have to name three sides this is very hard views when players are not available or cup tied or can only play at home due to work.

AN OPEN LETTER FROM A CLUB MEMBER VIEW FROM THE BOUNDARY As an ardent Darlo supporter I am overjoyed to see the improvements in recent results it gives me great pleasure to watch all our youngsters who i have watched from an early age prospering in all Junior Sections 6 our senior teams.The one side of the game that does concern me in our teams is the fielding i watch nearly all home games and i worry about the runs all our teams give away in the field, do we practice field- ing if not why not. I have had the pleasure of watching the great Colin Bland in the past, what a fielder . He practised one hour every day just on ground fielding, and as recent as Colly up at Dur- Get live ham, hours spent on his catching technique. Come on lads work hard on your fielding to back up scores up- your other talents and lets keep winning to keep OLD FOGGY smiling. dates on the FOGGY club website P.S.
