Scratch team for 2023
What a great 2022 Season it was for Donnington Grove’s Scratch Team in their return to the Reading and District Scratch League after a number of years absence. Coming 2nd to Calcot Park II by a narrow margin and being promoted to League 1 for 2023 season. Division 2 players of year jointly was Jason Axford & Nick Hills with an impressive 9 wins out of 11 and as equally impressive Morgan Fletcher & James Percy coming 3rd & 4th in the order of merit.
Fantastic 1st year for all the team and to each of those that contributed to a great season. 2023 looking even stronger with new players being added to the squad.
