Welcome to Braintree Cricket Club

Two good wins despite key players missing

Both sides recorded emphatic victories to show the club is developing some strength in depth over the weekend. The first eleven had arguably 5 first team players missing but thrashed Sudbury II by 115 runs thanks to a wonderfull hundred by Rory Ainsley and a good team performance in the field. The second eleven also run out winners by 110 runs thanks to 57* by Geoff Eveling. They too performed well in the field as a team, clinging on to 8 catches and spreading the wickets among all the young bowlers. See results or news for match reports
