The 1stXI continued his run of good form with a winning-draw at home to bottom side Spalding. While Jack Luffman and his team woudl readily admit they weren't quite at their best at Jubilee Park on Saturday the positive result and the ability to defend just 202 on a good batting surface showed once again that the team are up for a scrap when needed. Two changes were made to the side form the previous week with Chris Anderson and Matthew Sargeant replacing the unavailable duo of Ricky Lovelace an...

It was a good job the BBH's opening bowlers weren't at their best which allowed openers Jack Luffman (44) and Sam Evison (21) to put on a fruitful opening partnership as once spin was int...
