HCL FORMAT 2012 The provisional league format for 2012 is out and there is a lot of change for both sides. As per usual there are 7 different sides in County 3 but the Buffalos trips to the Forest have been swapped for games in the opposite direction as they move to SE2. COUNTY 3 Holybourne (Alton) come up as C4N champions, with an impressive 11-1 record and runners up Denplan Mansbridge, (9-2) join them. Last time we played Mansbridge they played at Hedge End but they have now moved to North Walls in Winchester. Coming up from C4S are Paultons (10-1) and Bransgore (12-2), when the two met last season they tied and Paultons won the league by just 5 points. Coming down from County 2 are Flamingo, Hursley Park and Hythe and Dibden. All 3 teams had 3-11 records but Flamingo conceded twice and rumours persist that they won't be around next season. SE2 It's any ones guess what we'll be facing in SE2 but the East side is generally considered to be slightly weaker than the West. Waterlooville (10-3) were 3 rd last year and just missed promotion by 3 points, Bedhampton (10-3) were just 6 points off going up. Peartree will be looking for their 3 rd promotion on the trot after winning SE3 with a 12-2 record. There could be few short trips for us with Peartree (Turnpike Rec), Bursledon(Donkey Farm), Southampton Community (Millbrook Rec), Ordnance Survey (Wide Lane) all within the City boundary. Sarisbury and Fair Oak aren't too far away either where we could be facing our old team mate Dave Slowgrove.

The Cat's got the cream Casper the Cat saw off all rival cricket pundits to win the HCC ICC WCP Competition with an impressive 94 points. He beat his closest rivel Ben 'Rocketman' Schwarz by an impressive 13 points and wins a healthy pot of cash for his troubles. Rumour has it he will be using some of his winnings towards the production the HCC yearbook! but if he had any sense he'll be straight round the Cat light district to spend his hard earned winnings unless of course his owners have deprived him of his crown jewels. Bottom of the pile was Keith Ridley who only managed a poultry 20 points. Perhaps he should try picking his own predictions next time!! Gere's still laughing although he does feel a little guilty. A big thankyou to Steve for a good quiz which went to the wire and for Neil keeping us up to date with the scores throughout the tournament.

Srini second, Gerald, an anomaly Well it's taken some time but the Hampshire league computer problems have been sorted, and as we hoped, Srini has come second to Avi in the league averages for SW3. Considering he started the season batting at number 9, he managed to hit over 350 runs. This is a tremendous achievement, and the first time the club have had a 1-2 in their history. Avi averaged over 83, Srini over 70 and the next best well behind on 60. Just to cap things, Jessi's 235 runs at 26.11 was good enough to get him into 20 th position. Despite moving to Hardmoor we also managed to get two bowlers in the top twenty. Ben Schwarz came in at 17 th with 21 wickets at 18.24 and Avi did the double for the second year running, coming in at 20 th with 22 wickets at 20.36. Unfortunately the firsts didn't manage anyone in the top 20 of County 3, the first time since 2002 that this has happened. However because Gerald didn't appear in the top 20 no one noticed that his 31 wickets equalled the divisions best and the entitlement of an award and dinner. Gerald, however like any good bowler always checks his stats and a quick e-mail later confirms he is a joint winner and a trophy is being hastily engraved. He will now join Avi and 6 chums at the Rose Bowl where they will both be presented with their trophies. CLICK HERE FOR FULL LIST OF HANTS LEAGUE TOP 20 FINISHERS

LEAGUE FORMAT 2011 The provisional Hampshire league set up for 2011 has been announced and confirms in writing for the first time that the Buffalos have been promoted, and sit just 3 leagues below the Chinchillas. As with the nature of County 3 there are 8 different fixtures for the firsts to play. Down come Purbrook, Pylewell Park and Ropley from County 2 and up come Hayling Island , Liphook, Rowner, Winterslow and Rotherwick. The Buffalos have remained in the South West region, therefore avoiding multiple trips to Portsmouth . Totton, Bransgore and Langley Manor have all come up as well but all the relegated teams from Divisions 1 South and North have gone into other leagues.

BUFFALOS ARE PROMOTED The Buffalos needed maximum points in their final game and a few results to go their way in order to gain promotion. They achieved the first part of this with a fine maximum points win over Pyewell Park at Hardmoor. Then news filtered through that Lymingtons game had been rained off and Exbury had slumped to defeat at Bransgore gaining only 6 points. This meant that the Bufs leap frogged both of these teams to clinch the fourth promotion spot. A fantastic achievement from the boys and thoroughly deserved. WELL DONE LADS, click here for match report
