1990 Season

An uneven season this, kicking off with a can-we-play-you-every-week win over Streatham Hollingtonians (still the record margin of victory) and a rare win at Cokenach, followed three weeks later by a 178-run defeat to the Non-Conformists (sadly not the record margin of defeat) which precipitated a long losing streak.  The win over traditional whipping-boys STA then inspired a six-match unbeaten run encompassing an extremely enjoyable tour of the Dorset coast, before an elongated fixture list wound down with a couple of anticlimactic defeats.

Notable debuts: both of the frères Harry embarked on their RBCC careers during the season, even though one subsequently went back to the dark side.

The unofficial averages for the 1990 season can be inspected here.  Not many surprises in the list, but a good year for all-rounders.  Both Andy and Giles had higher batting than bowling averages, and PoC and Dave L came tantalisingly close.
