OLD NETLEY & HIGHFIELD won 13 of their 15 matches to secure a first HCL title – the most significant victory coming on the penultimate week of the season when they beat Southampton Community by 96 runs.
Twice, against Ryde Cavaliers and Trojans, they posted 300-plus totals, with Dan Czaicki hitting an unbeaten 138 among his 495 runs. John Powell clocked up 389 runs, Adam Comber complemented his 470-run tally with 18 wickets. Luke Cherrett’s 35-wicket haul included a spell of 7-17 against Trojans.
Old Netley are reaping the benefits of their investments.
Some years back they completely re-laid their square at Portsmouth Road and generally enhanced the facilities they share with Sholing FC. There is a very healthy junior section at the club, providing cricket for teams from nine years of age upwards.
