#/Today(1)/#
Dear #/Text(First Name,,Member)/#,
Fabulous weather got all our teams, including the Colts Academy off to a great start (at last!) this weekend. A hard fought batte for the First XI at Reigate went right up to the last over but unfortunately ended up a losing draw. Aaron did us proud with 110 runs notched up (his first century for the club), four wickets and an 'astounding catch'. Benny managed to break their roof!

The Avorians Academy started in earnest this week following last week’s washout and was hailed as a tremendous success.Fresh from his century, four wickets and “astounding” catch in the league match against Reigate the previous day, our overseas star Aaron (Obi) O’Brien led the coaching session with former Essex CCC captain, Paul Prichard.We now have some very talented youngsters in the squad but there is still room for more children between the ages of 9 and 15. We are hoping to keep the sessions down to less than 100 children to make sure everyone has the opportunity to get involved so we look forward to seeing even more youngsters down at the ground next Sunday at 9am to help us towards that target.
