Harmer signs off with a curry

As he prepared to ride off into the cyber sunset, outgoing 4th XI captain Steve Harmer sent the following message to his men

After an up and down season I can now confirm that we finished seventh in our league, which to be honest is probably a true reflection of our performance this season. Yet again we managed to play very well and beat a number of the leading teams but let the poorer teams bring our standard of play down.

However, we had some memorable moments which I am sure we will recount at the end of season curry. Grant should be confirming which date we are going for in the near future (11th May or 25th May). For those that went to the end of season dinner, I understand from Sophie (as I have memory loss) that I did a speech that rambled somewhat so that I hope it did not spoil your evening too much! Congrats to Nige Hawes who was awarded 4th team player of the season on the night - however, due to Crumby demanding a recount of the official figures Grant will be assessing the official votes over the next few weeks in time for the curry. Prepare yourselves for a few Pie Charts and Line Graphs detailing your efforts throughout the season!

And finally, as you may know/have seen by CD's e-mail, Dom has now officially taken over as captain with able assistance from Grant Archer and Bertie Bance. Please give Dom and the guys all the support they need over the coming season.

Also for your interest CD as stepped down as Club Captain and David Knapp has taken over the role. I am sure we would all like to thank CD for his tireless efforts over the last few years as he has turned the club around. We wish Knappy the best of luck in his new role. Many thanks and see you at the curry.
