The progress of the side has been hampered by the now traditional early season bad weather, with many games being washed out, most of which we could have been expected to win. This was compounded by the late withdrawl of two sides from the league, and as you would know it , on the evenings that we were due to play them, we were blessed with glorious weather. In the games that were played, we progressed to the third round of the Suburu National Under 13 competition, having disposed easily of County League side Macclesfield in the second round. Unfortunately we reserved our worst performance of the season for the third round game at Middlewich, where we were beaten by 7 wickets having been bowled out for only 47.

However the spirit of the boys was illustrated the following night when they bounced back to bowl out Ashton for only 32, going on to win by 10 wickets. Ironically 2 of the best performances of the season ended in defeats against very strong Timperley and Didsbury teams. There were though, good wins against Hale Barns and Whalley Range. The boys also took part in the annual Chelford festival where, blessed with glorious weather, the boys aquitted themselves well against Poynton and Oxton, before losing, and beating our own Under 12s! In general the bowling and fielding were exemplary,but unfortunately on occasions the batting lacked both technique and application. Leading run scorers were Richard Murray with 101 and Tim Jenkins with 87. Top bowlers were James Barratt with 9 wickets and Andrew Mountford with 8.
