2023 fixtures
Captain: David Proctor
Vice Captain: Ben Hartridge
This proved to be a very successful season in which we played 26 games, winning 17 and losing 9. Our batting was strong throughout, with plentiful runs provided by Ankit (477), Ben (393), and Ajay (373). The season witnessed three fine centuries from Ajay (147*), Rasheed (112) and Ben (110*). Our bowling was also very impressive, with Ankit (33) and the returning Joe (31) leading the way, and was also notable for veteran Seb Daveys first five-fer (5-51).
Notable victories included wins against longtime opponents Jesmond Jaguars, Palm Tree, London Fields (twice), Pacific and London Nigerians, and in October we won the October Cup for the fifth successive season. Strongroom also conducted two enjoyable tours of the West Country. On the autumn tour to Somerset, Arif and crew plied us all with fine South Asian cuisine from the back of his large Luton van, while former skipper Adrian "Skip" Horne celebrated his 60th birthday at Wookey Hole. Among our 17 victories we also received two brutal defeats courtesy of Budleigh Salterton (again) and Cairns Fudge. Aside from nine games being cancelled due to rain and at times low availability of players (on both sides), overall we did well at raising teams, thanks to our expansive pool of veterans, semi-veterans, youngsters, occasionals and newbies.
