Match Highlights

Ron Locke became the first bowler to reach 50 wickets for the season after 15 games.

The evening of Saturday 8th July saw Toft proudly sitting at the top of four separate league tables – those for the 1st XI, 2nd XI, 3rd XI Group C and Aggregate. If they keep this up, not much good will be done for the attendance figures at the Presentation Dinner.

Winnington Park (225-6) setting Toft a target to win, Toft needed 10 off the last over but managed only nine, closing at (225-7) Winnington taking the points 14-10

18th July – the league committee resolved to rescind the approval for Paul Allott to play for Toft as he had not been able to comply with his assurance that he would be available for the remainder of the season.
