June typically sees the start of the rainy season in the Kanto and the threat of match cancellations because of rain; after 3 wins in May the Sharks` players were hoping the weather would hold out….. The first of the month brought the first game, a JCL 4 match between the Sharks 3rd XI and
After a busy, fun, but ultimately disappointing April for the Sharks, with 8 games but only one win, the start of May saw the team hungry for better results. The Shark`s first game of the month wasn’t until May 18th, when the 1st Xi took on Wyverns 1st Xi in JCL Division 1. Batting first,
The Sharks season started off with the JCL T10 tournament which ran between March 24th and April 7th, with the Sharks league games scheduled for April 6th, the day before the finals.

The 2024 season is just around the corner and the Sharks are busy preparing for what we hope will be a successful year. Since December we have held a number of training sessions at Akai Farm, with coaching provided by Nick, Chris and Dave. These sessions were an excellent opportunity to get to know some
Two fantastic wins on the trot means the 2nd XI finished a tough season on a high. Tokyo Titans were beaten by 13 runs and then MIB, by 28 runs. Great to back to winning ways. Well done everyone! [Anton]
After a few mid-term hiccups, the 1st XI really turned on the style to beat Paddy Foleys by a whopping 188 runs. Amont the many highlights were Doogs’ 122 and Freddy’s 6/23. An awesome performance right when we needed it.
Our strong start to the 2023 season continues with the 1st XI beating our ancient adverseries Wombats by 58 runs down at Fuji. It was a great, dogged, patient all round performance, worthy of the Shearer-Thurgate Cup which stays in our hands. Well played guys. [Anton]
Takady’s T20ers made a great start to our 2023 Japan Cup campaign with a thumping win over Tsukuba Vikings. Runs from Takady (42), Doogs (44) and Tipu (21) were backed up by wickets across the attack for a superb team win by 71 runs. Good stuff! [Anton]
Wild, wet and windy weather meant that both XIs matches were cancelled last Saturday. It’s a shame because we had two strong sides ready to go. Never mind, we’ll keep our powder dry for May. Next up is Japan Cup [Anton]
The season opened with the 1st XI blasting through a middle order fightback to beat Rising Stars by a healthy 28 runs. No such luck for the 2s though. Facing KKR’s 1st XI, we never got going with the bat but took a few wickets defending our small total. Good signs though. [Anton]
