In a development that will keep the Treasurer happy, but not many others, the 1st XI have been handed the same draw as 2009 in the ‘Senior’ Cup, the cup holders first up. The only consolation is home advantage this year.
One new feature in this cup is the presence of two teams from The Hills. It will be interesting to see how this is managed, not least as the 2nd XI has received a bye to the second round.
