18 games later and Windsor fall on their sword

Caversham and Redingensians 2nds 206 all out
Windor 3rds – 207/3
A. Towse 94* D. Riches 47*

So thats it relegation for the 3rds…..A sad end to a promising season. However, the careers of youngsters Waqas Mohammed, Umar Malik, Abdul Ashraf, Dave Riches, Rob Woodward, Ryan Doye, Harmeet Chana, Vignesh Venkataramen, Mark Lines, Tom Hartridge and Ricky Saunders have flourished in this developmental year.

Relegation maybe, but the future of the club is safe in the hands of this fine band of men…

Relegation places – what are we playing for?
Relegation places – I guess we know the score..
On and on!Does anybody know how we met the trap door?
Another zero – another mindless shot .
Behind the door, of the changing hut.
Hold the line!
Does anybody want to bat on anymore?

The show must go on!
The show must go on!
Inside my heart is breaking,
My cricket bat may be flaking,
But the thirds, still, plays on!

Whatever happens,
I’ll leave it all to reason.
Another heartache – a sad failed season.
On and on!
Does anybody know what we are playing for?
I guess I’m learning.I must be warmer now..
I’ll soon be turning round the corner now.
Outside the colts are playing,
And the future of the club is there for all to see!

The show must go on!
The show must go on!
Yeah!Ooh!
Inside my heart is breaking!
My cricket bat may be flaking!
But the thirds still play on!
Yeah! oh oh oh

The colts futures is painted like the wings of butterflies,
Fairy tales of yesterday, will grow but never die,
I can fly, my friends!

The show must go on!
Yeah!
The show must go on!
We’ll face it with a grin!
I’m never giving in!
On with the show!

Next year we’ll top the league!
we won’t deceive!
we have to find the will to carry on!
On with the,
On with the show!

Apologies to Freddie Mercury
