Pete McGlashan ends with a flourish
Pete in action last season
Pete McGlashan signed off his Bath career with a sparkling 47 off 26 balls which helped the 1st XI to a comfortable win against Corsham.
Pete heads back to New Zealand this week to have his damaged finger repaired in time to prepare for Champions Trophy action. Although his Bath season has been cut short he has still made valuable contributions this season and we all wish him the best of luck for his Black Caps career and hope to see him at North Parade soon.

Midweek fixtures
Kelly's a hero!
Adam Kelly kept his cool and guided Bath home in dramatic fashion at North Parade today. He struck an unbeaten 43 coming in with Bath on 102 for 7 chasing 172 for victory. The final over began with Bath needing 12 but that was reduced to 6 when the umpires imposed a 6 run penalty for the slow over rate of the opposition. The 4th ball of the last over was guided to third man to spark wild celebrations and silence the large following from Wales. Kelly had earlier taken 3-16 to cap a fine day.
Its a shame the ECB weren't present to see a fantastic match after they tried to end this competition. A large crowd witnessed a titanic battle between two evenly matched teams.
Bath will now travel to Taunton St Andrew in the last 16 on 12th July. It is the first time we have reached this stage since 2003.
Sully Centurions 171 for 8
Bath 172 for 8

Return of some legends
For the Anniversary Dinner, we have some long lost friends coming back to North Parade, some after many, many years. Frank Brathwaite who played for Bath in 1962 and now lives in Montreal is coming for the Dinner. As are the Dalrymple Brothers, Neil and Ian, who played for the Club in the 80's and 90's. Willie Murrie is also making a return to NP; he was one of the best and longest-serving overseas player we have had. Roger Carter, who resides on the West Coast of America, is also coming over; he was a remarkable bowler who played for the Club in 1988 and 89. Lets be honest, if these guys who played for the Club for a year or two can make such an effort I would imagine all current players would want to attend the Dinner just to meet up with them.Bath 3 end Dyrham's unbeaten run
