Third XI July Results
Four straight defeats in July leave the 3rd XI second from bottom and staring relegation to the bottom for next season.
Unavailability has hit the 3rd team hardest plus in team squabbles saw their two vice captains resign and others leave the club.
Highlights of a difficult month ~ Drew Bennett's consistency with the bat & Dan Owens 66 on debut.
