Cricket Overseas
Zimbabwe
A Trophy! Well done to Tapiwa Mufudza (here with the club in 2018) and his Takashinga team who are the 2020/21 Zimbabwe National Premier League Champions aided by 20 wickets from Tapi who must have finished 1st equal or second of the top wicket takers in the league.

Pakistan
Good luck and all the best to Adam (Malik) who is going out to Pakistan this week to play cricket over the winter at the Abdul Qadir Cricket Academy in Lahore (which happens to be the Academy that developed young Pakistan opening bowler Naseem Shah). No outdoor nets in the snow this winter! https://www.facebook.com/Abdulqadircricketacademy

Junior juniors and the Nunholm Pumpkin Trail
The weather was not kind last week, or at the weekend, so our Pumpkin Trail is still around the outside of the ground for some post Halloween family fun for the smallest. See if they can find all 11 in the team and work out the two words spelt out by the letter written on each. Even better, they can name all their fielding positions!
