The last few seasons had seen the club in going into decline. The root of the problem seemed to be focused on organisational issues compounded in a breakdown in relations between key club personnel. This reflected on the pitch with poor results especially from the first XI. In contrast over the last few seasons the 2nd and 3rd team squads had stabilised and produced respectable league table finishes.
It was clear that some major shake ups were required and that is exactly what happened. The entire first team was disbanded. Last years 2nds filled the void to become the 1sts. Last years 3rds stepped up to become the 2nds. There is no longer a 3rd XI.
Athar had put in a lot of work to ensure the club was ready for the season on an organisational level. We had added a few members to strengthen our squad from last year. We welcomed back Sammy our star performer from the 2009 season and our bowling had been strengthened by Atif B. There are several members of the squad with undoubted ability who would need to step up to the plate and put in some performances this year. We could do with one more genuine batsmen to bring balance to the squad. With a positive mental attitude we could go places.
