The final huddle of the season. One last embrace. One last moment together. And then the realisation finally sinks in — the 3rd XI are champions. What makes this moment so poignant is everything that came before it. The hard yards, the setbacks, the long days, the learning, the belief and the commitment from both our senior players and the young Colts who have grown into senior cricketers throughout the campaign. A quiet ambition was set at the beginning of the season. They believed they could do it. On Saturday, they finally realised they had. Champions. Together.
