Lichfield Nomads Cricket Club - Best Starts to a season

The opening four wins of the 2007 season shares the record with 2002 as the best winning start to a season the Nomads have ever had.

2007 Season - Four Wins
The 2007 season began with a six wicket win over Swynnerton, followed by a 95 run win aginst Coombes Wood. There was then a 24 run win against Sunseekers and a 47 run win against Church Eaton. Batting first and posting a big score has been a key factor in the winning sequence. With the number of runs scored over 200 runs scored on three occasions and 181 in the match where the Nomads batted second.

2002 Season - Four Wins
The 2002 season started with four straight wins but the margin of victory was much closer in each game. The Nomads beat Swynnerton and Cannock Wood by just 18 runs. The Nomads beat Friary Grange to win the Stuart Ellison cup by one wicket. The fourth victory came against M&T CC when the Nomads triumphed by four wickets. The winning run was ended with a defeat against Trentside.
The season culminated in one of the most successful ever with twelve victories and only six defeats.

1986 Season - Four Wins and three draws.
The 1986 season began with a victory against John Taylor, followed by a draw against Phoenix. The unbeaten run extended to 7 matches with a win against Rugeley Power Station, a draw against Thorn, a victory against Yoxall and draws against Church Stretton and Thorn. The wheels fell off in style as the run ended with a defeat against John Taylor High School. The Nomads posting a miserable 38 runs all out.
As the previous season (1985) ended with two draws and three victories, the Nomads actually went 12 consecutive games without losing. With the switch to more 40 over matches, in recent times, it is unlikely that this record will ever be beaten.
