Last game of the season, Fardell middled a pull and smacked square leg umpire McClarty on the arm - Mark didn't really apologise...
Verma’s incredible bowling debut 17-3, and a direct hit run out
Steve Morgan’s direct hit run out of Fardell. He got so excited, he tried it again and again and again for the rest of the game

Van Daal's magical over of bowling - he's definitely a specialist batsman
Tween's incredible single over bowled of the season. Words cannot do it justice
Jamy's batting and wicket keeping - very capable, but very unorthodox and great fun to watch
Jamy's sledging should get a special mention - hum baby, hum baby... get wicketed... you name it...
McClarty's incredible batting debut at the top of the order, hitting 2 6's in our first game
McClarty doing a top job, particularly down the legside, as stand-in wicket keeper for our last game
AVEVA tweaking their field every couple of balls in the late August light - resulting in them nearly playing in the dark when batting
AVEVA using 3 slips for most of their innings... #WTF?
Brett's ace batting, the 6 master. His straight off drive is worth the price of admission alone, and his little cameos and ability to skip down the track are great to watch
Willem almost taking a catch and then falling with a thuddering jolt to the earth
Broadbridge's multitude of great bowling spells, the pick being 26-3. He gives the ball more air than Tony Hawk, some generous turn, and suckers the batsmen in
Jeroen's boomstastic 46*, almost getting a 50 for the first time this year (which would have been our first 50 since 2011). He scored all round the ground, and also generally looked pleased as punch before during and after every shot. A man who always plays with a smile
Lait's scoring zone - deep backward square - which he used to get 16 runs from 4 balls against Bidwells with his £20 timber
Piers getting hit in the face whilst batting, being caught and dismissed off his face and Sophie's little "Oh no" reaction...
Justin Edwards finding his range with bat and ball all season - including some great bowling, ace batting and good fielding.
Lait's bowling was brilliant all season. When it works, as it did for the latter half of the season - it's difficult to face and difficult to score from. When it doesn't work, well, it's really entertaining. Left arm round the wicket fast bowler anyone?
Brett's bowling, once he upped the pace, was very devastating. I was facing him on the end of some decent chin music, and it's really quite terrifying
The S-Tech game, with our top ever score of 181 with a great all round effort
The spectators, include Sophie, Matthias, Laura, Laura's mates, Zoe, Andy Parker and his family - we've got a fan club
Piers has had a brilliant season bowling - he's our go to man for death bowling
Piers also deserves a special mention for a catch at short extra cover, the batsman absolutely hammered it low at Piers, amazing catch, batsman shook his head, and he almost cried at the pain. I recall Piers making a lot of catches
Jeroen and Willem's misfields. Other people did misfield - and I managed to forfeit a round of drinks in one game by misfielding - but no-one does it like these two saffers
Jeroen screaming "Yeah" before hitting a ball for 6. The bowler's face was a picture
Cooper's wicket tastic bowling - with lots of mega big turn. The dry pitches saw him get some incredible variation and change

Enzo's chicken skewers!
Willem chasing me round the field for accusing him of being unfit
McClarty's sledge about my mum
Lamble's sledge about me being a beached whale
The sixes tournament, on possibly the sunniest day ever
McClarty's reactions to LBW decisions - incredulity doesn't do it justice
Jones' little 25 at the end of the season
Us using two bats, one "Boom Boom" that was £35 from Kashmir, and Simon using a £20 Sports Direct number. I'm not sure which was worse
Piers falling over lots during one batting session - clearly needs some new shoes
Steve Morgan and Willem giving us a defendable total against Sharks. It really was a top notch lower order partnership to get us over the line to something vaguely defendable
Simon Lait's nicknames - Milky au Lait, Full Fat, Milkybar Kid
Us getting a logo (Thanks Piers)!
Lait's cough/splutter/choke signal before delivering his patented slower ball
The shock on Willem's face when he caught one from Juzzy's bowling
