They will be keen to put together a good run of form in their remaining games in order to finish as high up the table as possible. One of the highlights of the team’s performances so far has been the batting of Chris Whitworth who has consistently chipped in, leading to him being their leading run scorer with 347 runs. Neville Talbot has also batted superbly with an average of around 40 helped by a memorable innings of 144. From the bowling side of things Rhys Stewart has led the way, taking fourteen wickets at an average of just fourteen. Ramesh Subasinghe, Martin Nevill and Scott Davies have also bowled well to form a formidable bowling attack. Stevenage is not a club to focus solely on senior cricket however and this is reflected by the fact that they also have a number of youth sides in place. These teams look to provide youngsters from the local area with an opportunity to play the game in a safe and enjoyable environment whilst helping them to reach their full potential. It is important for any side to be able to produce their own talent, particularly in the current financial climate and this is an area that they appear to have covered. It will certainly be exciting to see how their juniors can progress over the coming years. In order to help ensure that these players enjoy a smooth transition into the senior game they also run additional sides.
