2007 SEASON
Hythe & Dibden 1st XI - Hampshire County Division 2
Hythe & Dibden 2nd XI - Hants Reg Division 3 South West
| Team | Pos | Pld | W | L | Nr | Bat | Bowl | Total | Av |
| Hythe 1st XI | 4th | 11 | 8 | 3 | 6 | 56 | 46 | 198 | 18.00 |
| Hythe 2nd XI | 4th | 12 | 9 | 3 | 8 | 63 | 48 | 219 | 18.25 |
Going into the final game of the season Hythe First XI were lying in second place 7 points behind the leaders Liss who they beat comfortably earlier in the season. No one envisaged what was to unfold 6 hours later. Hythe lost by 2 runs to Ryde thanks to some dodgy umpiring decisions which meant they finished fourth and out of the promotion race.
Such a shame as Hythe were clearly on their day the top side in the division. Ben Kendrick finished 2nd in the League averages, with Richie Froggett 5th and Paul Whitlock 6th as the bowlers again dominated. Nardus Grobler led the way with the bat finishing in the Top 20 League batting & bowling aves.
Mike Bowmans 2nd XI had a good season - gaining promotion after finishing fourth and winning the New Forest Cup for the first time.
The Under 17 Colts finished third in their league as well - the highest a Hythe Colts side has finish since 1990.
