Afternoon All What a cracking turn out yesterday to watch the Mighty Millers gain revenge for recent defeats to the Lions of Broadhembury ! Thanks especially to all those who either partook or supported the “River Run” in aid of DEMENTIA , over £170 was raised and the adult winner was Ben Peters in a time of just over 1 min 30S, the Youths winner was William from Tale in a very creditable time just over two minutes. Well done to both of you, also to Jonathan Hill for spending more on entry fees than he did in the bar 😊 Slowest time of the day …

Not looking too good for The Chiefs just at the minute, but you never know!** We had two games this week, firstly trundling up the M5 to Nynehead on Tuesday evening, to record our third win on the bounce! The Nyneheaders batted first and on a balmy evening started brightly but faded to end on 92-9 and in response the Millers reached 93-6 in the fifteenth over. Good to see club captain Si Kittow back on the pitch for the first time this season, he’s reached that age where injuries kick in unfortunately 😊 Nynehead 92-9 (J Carden 2-4, M Hammett …
