Hatherleigh Cricket Club<br />
Another successful and enjoyable season has come to an end. The<br />
1st XI played some good cricket during the latter part of the season,<br />
culminating in a great victory in the last match against Budleigh<br />
Salterton.<br />
One of the highlights of the season has been the success of our 3rd<br />
XI, who in their first season won the league and will be promoted<br />
next year.<br />
This has been the first time the club has played three teams on a<br />
Saturday. To be able to put out 33 cricketers every Saturday for 18<br />
weeks shows the strength in depth of the club.<br />
Our ladies section goes from strength to strength. Having been promoted last year to the top league in<br />
Devon they more than held their own.<br />
The junior sides have all acquitted themselves well, with several of our younger members being selected<br />
for both the North Devon District and the County teams.<br />
We bade farewell to Matty Thomas, who has returned to New Zealand, where he will be playing and<br />
coaching full-time for the next six months. The good news is that he will be returning to play and coach for<br />
us again next summer.<br />

Table Top Sale<br />
Saturday 17 th September<br />
Once again the Table Top Fair in the Village Hall was well attended, and plenty of tea and coffee and hot<br />
bacon rolls were served up.<br />
It is a good get-together for everyone, as well as a chance to find that special plant or gift to buy.<br />
£125 was made for Village Hall funds, which was excellent!<br />
The next Table Top will be on 15 th October when I am sure some Christmas goodies will be appearing,<br />
particularly Christmas cards and wrapping paper.<br />
If you would like to book a table, or would just like more information, please ring Anne on 231231.<br />
