It’s Finals time, and we have 3 sides representing SHCC this year. Well done to Division 1, 2 and 6 Blue for qualifying – we know you will do the Club proud. All 3 sides went up a Grade from last season, with each team showing they belong in their new Divisions. Well done to each team, and especially to team Captain’s Rehaan Nawaz, Jay Karim and Dharmin Thakkar.
There is also the Glenn Holdstock Player of the Finals Trophy to be awarded, for an outstanding performance in any Finals game. Who can forget David Greenhalgh's performance in the drawn Div 2 Qualifying Final, taking 7/21 from 10 overs to send his team straight to the Grand Final. Who will stand up when it counts this season?
This weekends games are 2 day matches, played on Saturday and Sunday. Play starts at 1:30pm on each day. Each team would welcome your support on either day. Let’s go!
