Thursday 7 July – a little late for news, but you know how it is
3 matches played since the last update

• vs Nantes on 18 June – 9 Saumurois only could make the trip (6 adults and 3 youths – Becky, Tom & Luc). Match lost, dismal weather, but we certainly did the best we could in these difficult circumstances

• vs Maillé on 26 June – match lost – summary here – due to ridiculously atrocious fielding ! Must have been the heat...

• Vs Carpe Vinum on 3 July – match won – summary here – payback from last year's defeat – a very good time was had by all, including the visitors (except maybe for Jon, who left France with stitches for a souvenir!)

More news – Becky has been selected to play for France in the France vs Jersey matches that we'll host on 27 & 28 August.

Saturday 11 June – 35 overs match vs La Roche sur Yon CC at La Roche – match summary here

2011 Licences – think of your medical certificate RIGHT NOW. The annual subscription fee is still only 30 euros for grownups, 24 euros for youngsters.

But only until January 31^st! After that, you'll remember that there's an extra cost for late registration. So if you're late, the corresponding price will be 34 € for adults, 28 for kids.

Note that if you registered for your first licence after September 1^st (that's for Rebecca and Raphaël), you're OK for 2011.
