The season 1999/2000 saw some changes of personnel. Debs split, and Jack transferred to the Croham Arms to play in the top division. (Incidentally, Tommy, we never did get our £20!) Terry, after winning a pub knockout in the summer, was promptly signed up, followed by another Dave (Dave G) - two more players who are still with us. Another new player was Ray L, who I seem to remember hitting a maximum or two.

1999/2000 seemed to mark the start of a bad habit for the Rail View - we managed to lose 8-7 no fewer than 8 times in 20 matches. Still we did well enough in the other games to be promoted. As a team we must have played reasonably well because the stats show the top five players as rated over 60.

The team also achieved its only 15-0 win so far - this against the Bees Knees. The captain and Terry were drawn for the last two singles, and I can confirm that there was a fair bit of pressure to keep the wins going. I also remember the captain later apologising for being uncharacteristically exuberant after hitting the final double in the eights. (I should remember - 'cos I was that man!)

Top average of those who played all season was Darren, and Bob took the trophy for the highest gameshot with his now legendary 119 at the Man on the Moon. (Who else would go T20-T19-D1?)
