the 1st XI friendly Vs Elmstead went ahead despite the weather seemingly more suited for an Arctic expedition .
Batting first Hadleigh scored 206 from their 45 overs with both Marlon Dias & Callum Morrin hitting half centuries before retiring to allow Josh Davey the chance to get a second ball duck.
The game was never in doubt once wickets starting falling and the home side could only muster 75 in reply
The side however, were particularly grateful for Elmstead for putting this friendly on and seeing it through
So, the season starts this Saturday . Let's hope for big things this season!
