Hythe Under 15's vs Pylewell Park @ Jones Lane

Back to league action this weekend as the Under 15's (6th) face Pylewell Park (11th).

The Hythe lads let Richie down on Tuesday evening in the cup so fingers crossed they will get back on track this week against a side that has yet to win this term.

Pylewell Park vs Hythe Under 11's

Itching to get back into action after their cup historics - Hythe Under 11's (7th) travel to Pylewell Park (2nd) in the league.

Pylewell have only played one game so far in the league - thanks to the rain and Lymington conceeding. But the game they did play they put in an impressive 38 run win over Beaulieu. Beaulieu did however get their own back in the cup.
