We have yet to see any of the following; if they, or any of those listed above, appear, they will be added to the player pool:
No-one here yet

The following are believed local & able, remain on the roster but haven't shown signs of playing league cricket for a over a year now:
Dave Toole, Ben Preece, Rich Grove, Rich Olney, Beefy Benewith, Steve Ormesher, Max Bradbury, Stroddy Chapman.
Currently in the players pool as we fully expect them to play, but beware, although the summer is still very young, we are yet to see them in any cricketing capacity this season:
Limited Availability:
The following players are included in the player pool for the season but have limited availability, or are either leaving or arriving, or both, at least once during the course of the summer:
Nick Bannerman says: I'm afraid my diary is really filling up over the summer. I currently already have the following on which would mean I can't play on a Saturday :
x2 weddings
x1 stag do
x1 festival (possibly 2)
x1 visit to Scotland (not definite)
x1 birthday celebration (in day)
x1 gig night organising (so busy in day)
Ideally I would like to be playing regularly for the Saturday team, but since that's not going to be possible, I shall just make myself available whenever I can play whether that's a Saturday or Sunday, and just hope that I manage a reasonable amount of games for the Cowboy's over the season! I shall hopefully be able to make nets more regularly than I can matches.
Angelo Bordi says: I'm planning on having a season off this summer & devoting some time to love instead. And who can blame him. Spread the joy, brother.
Ian Higgins says he's about until June & then heading off onto the continent & seeing where it takes them. Still leaves some potential for May though....
watch this space...
Injury Concerns:
No-one here yet either., although Justin Avery says: My legs have turned into brain over the winter; reconversion may be tricky.
Evan Gibbons is currently questioning his sanity & believes he doesn't want to play anymore.
General News:
Ramadan in 2018 will start on Wednesday 16th May & the last day of fasting should be Thursday 14th June.
