This was won. between showers, by A Squadron who beat B Squadron very narrowly in the final match. We lost to the Royal Hussus in the RAC Cup in conditions that were more suitable for water polo than cricket and again stumbled against them in the Army Cup, having previously beaten 14/2011 by 2 wickets. The Squadrons fared little better in the General’s Cup where, due to training and operational commitments, each Squadron had to concede matches and were eliminated. The Taylor Trophy, for the season‘s top wicket taker. again went to W02 Simpson who seems to make a habit of winning it, The cricket club acquired a new trophy this year. WOZ(RQMS) Bellamy presented a magnificent Rose Bowl, in memory of his father, to be presented to the season‘s “Most Improved Young Cricketer‘; this was won by Tpr Barnett. We all hope that this coming year will see conditions improve radically so we can once again enjoy the sound leather on willow under a clear, blue. warm and sunny sky. |
