Last Day Defeat at Whitchurch
The 4th XI finished the league programme with a 5 wicket defeat at Whitchurch Heath, in a match played in the best of spirits.
Batting first on a damp track Centurions found it hard going, with the home side contributing as much to the score - with a barrowload of extras - as the batsmen did. Only Paul Harrison (23 not out) and Nathan Cuddihy (17) got into double figures and the innings closed on 107 all out.
After tea the Whitchurch innings got underway on a drying pitch, which helped the batsmen considerably, although it was pleasant to finally see the sun again! Nathan Cuddihy and Nick Jones took 2 wickets apiece, with Liam Bennett chipping in with one. Paul Fisher bowled a tight spell towards the end and new boy Jamie Beasley showed some classy touches in the field, but with such a small total to defend it was inevitable that Centurions wouldn't be able to stop the Whitchurch side reaching the target.
Whitchurch Heath 108/5 Sully 107 all out
Another rain affected season has now ended and, although we haven't had too much success, there has been a great improvement in the team this year and, of course, a great team spirit. The players voted for Player of the Season after the match - the winner being being Nathan Cuddihy. Congratulations to Nathan and to Nick Jones for being runner-up. We fully expect both to be challenging for the 3rd xI next year
So Close, But The Rain Wins Again!
The 4th XI finally started a match, for the first time in a month, and came agonisingly close to victory at Pontllanfraith before the weather once again intervened.
After being put in, Centurions lost the first wicket for 10 as Gethin Stone was bowled for just 1. Nick Jones went 10 runs later, having reached 13. This left Terry Sylvester and Lewis Doel together and they put on 32 for the third wicket when JT was caught in the slips for 4. Lewis continued to hit the ball hard and single handedly kept the innings together as partners came and went - he eventually fell for a well deserved half-century - being caught on the boundary for 53, with the score on 107. This was his first ever fifty, let's hope it's the first of many. The innings finally came to an end with the score on 116.
After a lovely tea, the home side went out to bat with the skies still looking clear. Nathan Cuddihy was having a few problems with his line, but took a wicket in the first over, thanks to a great Nick Jones catch. The next wicket fell after 18 runs were on the board (again thanks to Nathan). Greg Tressider bowled a great spell of six overs with figures of 2 for 5, including 3 maidens. Lewis Doel then came to the party and began to monopolise proceedings. He ripped through the Pontllanfraith batting to add a five wicket haul to his batting heroics.
After two rain breaks the home side were tottering on 101 for 9, but the rains came back and this time there was no let up. So the game was abandoned with Centurions so near, yet so far away.
The one other black cloud that spoilt the party was the nasty injury sustained by Nick Jones. He was hit on the ankle by the ball and it looked as though it may have been broken. Fortunately a trip to the A&E in Cardiff showed it to be badly bruised and sprained but not broken. Get well soon Nick!
In all this was a fantastic all round performance with plenty of highlights - Two great catches from Nick Jones, a wonderful one handed catch by Lewis Cuddihy and a smart piece of 'keeping from Adam Gilliatt, to take a difficult catch off man of the match Lewis Doel - whose match figures were 5 for 20 with the ball and 53 with the bat.

Least Said - Soonest Mended
The 4th XI travelled to Croesyceiliog and were all out for 28 (yes 28!!) Only two people troubled the scorers - Paul Fisher got 12 and Nathan Cuddihy hit 9, with 7 extras.
The home side's reply took only 4 and a half overs. Nathan Cuddihy took the only wicket to fall and the game was over before it was time for drinks.
I have nothing else to say -- I'm going for lie down.......
