Plenty of good contributions this weekend after two wins on Saturday and some promising individual performances in the 3rd XI on Sunday, but John Bradley wins the IDE award after grabbing a superb 5-fer for the 2nd XI.

It was his bowling that cemented his place as this week's award-winner - his second of the season, but his contribution with the bat on Saturday was just as important. 

Bradley played despite having work commitments in the morning and was forced down the batting order due to his late arrival, his knock of 29 coming in at seven was a vital one though, it was the second highest score of the innings and allowed Park to reach a match-winning total of 148.

Despite Park being a man light, he still managed to go at under three runs an over with a 15-over spell in which he took 5-41, bowling with good pace and direction - and all that whilst playing through a back injury.

He has been a key player for the 2nd XI when he has played, having now taken 12 wickets in five games and hitting two half-centuries that have led him to an impressive second team average of 42.75.

A big honourable mention this week goes to the 3rd XI's two 14-year-old bowlers Alex Unwin and Alex Snapes, they opened the bowling on Sunday and took two wickets each at a good economy rate; Unwin had figures of 2-15 from six overs and Snapes was 2-16 from his six. Other good performances this week came from Ben Coulbeck who hit 47 and Jonny Wales with 5-34, both in the 1st XI's win over Bunbury. Kendol Richardson (34 for 2nd XI) and Sam Speak (33 for 3rd XI) also looked good with the bat. 

At one point it looked like the 1st XI were not going to get a game in on Saturday with the rain, but they got out just in time to allow Tom Speak to shine with the ball and earn the IDE Player of the Week.

Tom opened the bowling after Park won the toss and chose to field, they went on to bowl opponents Ashley out for just 34 as Tom took a superb five-fer with 5-21 from 12 overs.

He bowled with hostility and serious pace as he ripped through the Ashley batting order, proving just too quick for some and showing effectiveness with his slower ball as he showcased a complete bowling performance.

Tom has been restricted in his playing time due to University commitments this season, but when he has played he has remained effective - taking 14 wickets at an average of 13.93 so far this season.

Park won the game by ten wickets to earn a brilliant 20 points, honourable mentions have to go to the other bowlers on the day - Sam Barnes who took 3-6 from seven overs, and James Hanson with 2-6 from 5.4 on his first team debut. Martin Evans again looked good with the bat too during the chase as he finished unbeaten on 25 from 24 balls.
