Leith Cricket Club

Neil has kindly pulled together a bunch of stats from the 3rd XI's campaign in 2009. There are some good numbers in there too. Simon's 15 wickets pipped The Gavintor's meagre 11 while Watt amassed over 200 runs in a handful of games. Josh and G's century partnership reads like a highlight too. Read more here.

What a season opener the 3rd team had. 
The opposition for the first match of the season was Kirk Brae at Double Hedges. The sun was shining, the athletes dressed in white were ready. Must mention the sausage roll eaten my adrian Lovett.

If still in doubt, I refer you to the words from the man whose name consists of the most barrels:

On Tuesday we played cricket shortly after a hailstorm. Tam's team won because they batted before it was dark. Scoring was easier when avoiding the outfield as much as possible. It was very cold.

So the sooner YOU get involved the better.

The Links aren't flooded, 50% of the squares are now roped off and soon the links will be populated by white cladded athletes on those rare Satrudays when it doesn't rain. The fixtures for 2010 can be found here. Outdoor nets started last week and will run every Thursday from 6pm until the end of the season, weather permitting of course.

That's right! 2010 is upon us, as I was recently startled to learn. For several weeks now, Leithers have been digging their cars, bikes and buses out of snow to get down to Stewart's Melville College for winter nets at 12pm, Sunday. It's a meagre four notes on the door and attendance guarantees early season form. At least 'form' of one sort or another. Be there or at least have a decent excuse.
