Not much to report this weekend as Aston's home game to Stockingford was abandoned after consistent rain. That means Aston slip a place down the table to fifth, as Walmley 3/4 beat bottom club Elford to pick up the maximum 24 points and move up two places to fourth. There is a silver lining to this Saturday's cloud however, as Dunlop Coventry lost to Wilnecote meaning they are still in third place on 229 points, only 19 ahead of Aston.

The 2010 season draws to a close next weekend and weather permitting Aston travel to Wilnecote in their final game next Saturday (12.30pm scheduled start). The middle of table is still looking pretty tight at the moment, with the top two teams distancing themselves from the rest of the pack. At the top, Hunningham look certain to take the title or at the very least finish runners up. Aston can finish the season in third place, providing they gain the maximum 24 points next weekend and both Dunlop Coventry and Walmley 3/4 slip up. Dunlop Coventry face second place Coventry University & RM CC, while Walmley 3/4 travel to Stockingford. A tough final weekend ahead for Aston, but then again anything is possible.

With only two more weeks left to go of the current season, Aston CC 1st XI currently sit in fourth position. This weekend saw Aston travel to sixth place Walmley 3/4, needing maximum points to keep up the pressure on third place Dunlop Coventry. With only two games surviving the rain this weekend, including Aston v Walmley 3/4, Aston had the chance to egde past Dunlop Coventry into third place. Aston posted 188 runs on the board for 7 wickets, but the game ended in a draw with Walmley 3/4 getting 158 runs for 9 wickets. That leaves Aston only 22 points behind Dunlop Coventry, as their game with Stockingford was abandoned. However, close behind Aston are Stockingford and Walmley 3/4, with not many points to seperate the three teams.

Next weekend Aston are at home to Stockingford, an important game giving Aston the chance not only to create some distance between themselves and Stockingford but also to narrow Dunlop Coventry's lead.
