Our Champagne Moment went to the man, the legend, Pat. For just, generally being great at everything. Well done, Pat. A popular, nay beloved?, choice.

So the strangest end of season curry begins. Socially distanced, but plenty of beer, curry (obvs) and a great season. Looking forward to Beefy’s Champagne Moment...

The season is now over, time for some stats. We played 20 completed games, with a record of: won 12, lost 7, drew 1. We played 15 evening T20 (or 15*8) games and 5 Sunday games of various slightly longer formats.

Our batting generally functioned well, but we gave up more runs than usual - we missed our star opening bowler Rajeev, who was unavailable this year, and partly this was the high standard of opposition we faced.

However one exception was the bowling of Sumit - who picked up wickets in pretty much every game he played, and as a result set a new Sharks season record with 34 wickets - congratulations Sumit!
