HYTHE & DIBDEN 1st XI | 2nd | 14 | 10 | 4 | 2 | 40 | 51 | 211 | 15.07 |
1983 saw Hythe finish in their highest ever league position - Runners Up in the Southern League Premier Division
The previous season they had finished 8th but George Knights had aquired the services of Mel Hussain and Mel was to form a opening partnership with Dave Price that was top draw. Between them they would score 1500 runs in just 14 matches.
Hythe started the season badly - winning only 1 of the first 5 games but a strong finish saw them win their last 7 games to finish 2nd. What with current day regulations
