Chipping Sodbury.....will play......
Club secretary Clive Reynolds last night attended the annual Bristol and District League meeting, where draws are made and match balls, results cards and league handbooks are given out.
A few bits of news to come from the night. Firstly the draw for the first round of the Bristol & District Cricket Association Knock-Out competition has taken place. Chipping Sodbury will play Claverham Cricket Club at Home. The initial date given for this tie is Wednesday 26th May 2004.
Playing Claverham will be a tough fixture, but Chipping Sodbury's record against higher clubs has been good in the past and the club looks determined to carry on through the first round by knocking out Claverham. Last season Claverham 1st XI became Bristol & North Somerset League Champions.

Wicket-Keeping
Craig Scully came 5th in this category with 15 catches and 1 stumping. Steve Doidge came 9th with 9 catches and 2 stumpings. Good glove work folks.
Well I think that's enough stats for now, all I need to say is good luck to our knock-out mid-week team against Claverham.
