How to reach the ground
Hales Meadow, Culham Road, Abingdon, Oxon. Tel: 01235 524405. Just outside Abingdon on A415, next to Abingdon Town F.C. (In circumstances where it has been agreed that the artificial pitch shall be used, visiting teams should please note that spikes are not permitted).

The 1st and 2nd XI's had a generally successful season - one more win for each team would have put a different complexion on their respective league positions - and given the new make up of the leagues the 2nds may well have been promoted. The 3rd XI suffered with a lack of consistency in the batting and
bowling, and when players were promoted due to injury and unavailability in the 1st and 2nd XIs.

This year sees a change in the captaincy for the 1st XI (Ed Tilley) and 2nd XI (Chris Butcher), while Dave Binningsley will guide the 3rd XI.

Vale's juniors' section continues to grow and more cricket for them is being sought. More commitment is being given to integrate juniors into the senior sides. Also we are entering a team into the Downs league, which will contain a number of junior players to give them more experience.

This year also sees the return of our Dutch visitors with a full programme of cricket, sightseeing and entertainment planned. Abingdon's Cricket Week will also take place with a full programme envisaged.
