Sunday May 8th - v Brixham CC Over 35's (2pm Brixham Cricket Club)  - The game ended in a tie although some parties say that Brixham CC won by 3 wickets....we'll call it a tie - Ben topped scored for Palm with 33 before being run out by his dad! BRIXHAM WON BY 3 WICKETS

Sunday May 22nd - v Marldon CC (2pm Marldon Cricket Club) - Once again there were some parties that say this game ended in a tie...! It was a great afternoon whichever way you look at it - Marldon might just have sneaked a 1 wicket victory, but we must say a big thank you to Mr and Mrs Dodwell for helping us raise £50 for our charity of the year by waiving the tea fees. And well done to Corrinas Dad who took 6-22 MARLDON WON BY ONE WICKET

Sunday June 5th - v Kingskerswell CC (2pm Kingskerswell Cricket Club) - Once again this was another fantastic afternoon of cricket and money raising for charity. This one is always the fixture we look forward to the most as we always raise lots of money, thanks to the efforts of the Kingskerswell crew, and we always win! This year was no exception as we scored 179 (J Hunt 77, B Moseby 23, A Birt 21) and restricted Kingskerswell to 173 for 9 (2 wickets for Rich Lloyd and 2 for Aron Owen). The Palm Predators also won in their junior game. A fantastic £1700 was also raised for charity! PALM WON BY 6 RUNS

Wednesday August 31st v Torquay XI (130pm Torquay Cricket Club ) The final game of the season saw Palm's toughest test to date against a Torquay XI.

Well done to Andy Fairbairn (82*) Sam Wyatt Haines and Aron Owen who helped the Palm team up to 242 off 35 overs. In reply Torquay managed 210. A great win for Palm and another successful season.
