The 2nd XI under the captaincy of Andy Clarke finished third in
Regional Division 3 North East League securing promotion for the second year
running. Success was founded on their solid opening partnership of Stuart Smith
and ‘keeper Ian Neville and supported by a young bowling attack of Shaun Blanks,
Matt Clarke, Liam Charles and Jack Reekie and the more experienced Mike Whyatt.
Smith’s leg spinners completed the bowling the attack.
It wasn’t until the final results were in that the 2nd XI knew they
were promoted. As well has having to get maximum points, they had to rely on
other results going their way. Main rivals, Compton and Chandlers Ford had their
match rained off, Steep II beat Aldershot IV and although Medstead won with 21
points, they needed the full 24 points to get past Petersfield. This was the
second promotion in 2 years for Andy Clarke and his team and they needed to pull
out all the stops in the second half of the season to raise them from their mid
table position. They did this by only dropping 2 points in their last 6 matches.
