Result: Won by 50 runs

Match Report:  REPTON 271-4 (50 Overs) (Graham 118, Cosford 61. Jacques 54) REPTON PILGRIMS 221-9 (50 Overs)
A very professional victory to end the season and our drive to succeed and complete the season in this fashion was greater than The Pilgrims desire to resist. Sam Graham, who after the game was announced as Captain of Cricket for 2011, led the way with an outstanding 118. Michael Jacques finished his 1st XI career with consecutive 50's and Tom Cosford hit a brutal 61 which took the game away from the Pilgrims side.

 

After Will Byas removed last year's Captain Siddique and Henry Eldred left the Pilgrims 2 down very quickly, only some late order hitting from Lawrence moved the score beyond 200. All the leaving players enjoyed at least one over each, some was even on target.

 

This group of players have enjoyed a good year, winning 12 of 16 games and we wish the leavers the best for their future cricket careers.
