Aston Manor 1st Team
Byron being watchful
A View From The Captain
"Not gaining promotion on the final day of the season in 2012 was a tough pill to swallow. After pulling together as a team and producing some excellent results the mix of youth and experience blended well to show exactly what the team could do.Coming into 2013 season there is a similar mix although we have seen a few player comings and goings. New faces, namely Jake Lee an excellent young opening bat and old returning faces - Julius Benjamin coming back to lead the attack mean that if we can get a start then the excellent team spirit from last year and general level of talent available will allow us to look forward to a positive season.
A key to this is how our young players develop, push through and challenge the 1st XI - There is scope for challenge in most roles and with the excellent crop of young chaps available the challenge is there for all to see and hopefully for a good few to take up. The atmosphere is a really positive one - with promotion a real goal.
It is set up to be an exciting season at Church Road.
Here's to a great summer's cricket, and we look forward to our band of loyal spectators boysterous support!"
