| On the day that Weald unveiled their new changing rooms to the community, there was more than one thing to celebrate as they thumped famous rivals Knockholt by 8 wickets. Off to a great start, Knockholt put on 80 runs for the 1st wicket, before then tumbling to 182 all out. The only notable scorers being Stuart Thresher (79), Tony Fenn (39), and Mark Jones (36). Weald's bowlers rattled through the tail, and the best performers with the ball were Dave Clive (4-5), Alistair Brooker (3-18), and John Blackman (1-32). In reply Weald lost Brian Kirby early for 6, but Dave Clive (81*) and Alistair Brooker (84) pretty much saw Weald home with 12 overs to spare after some superb clean hitting. A nice day to celebrate and great win by Weald. Weald won by 8 wickets. |

| Weald vs. Leigh |
| Weald: 137 - 7 |
| Leigh: 136 ao |
| Weald managed to make it back to back wins, after successfully beating Leigh away on Saturday by 3 wickets. Winning the toss and opting to bowl first captain Dave Stringer (1-32) led the attack with Ryan Addison (3-31) and immediately started ripping through the Leigh batting order, regularly taking wickets and restricting the runs. Assisting in the bowling attack were the impressive Steve Balcombe (2-29) and Dave Clive (4-15) who cleared up the tail brilliantly to leave Leigh short of a decent target on 136 all out. Weald didn't get off to a great start losing 2 wickets with only 8 runs on the board, but some steady performances from Clive (25), Addison (42), and Alistair Brooker (30) got them home with 3 wickets to spare. Another good win for Weald which should see them start to move up the table. Weald won by 3 wickets. |

| Weald managed to somehow 'snatch defeat from the jaws of victory' against an Outwood side that looked very beatable. Having done well again with the ball, Weald restricted Outwood to only 165 runs, and after looking set to reach the target with wickets to spare on 109-3, suddenly tumbled to 152 all out.

| Weald vs. Groombridge |
| Weald: 154 ao |
| Groombridge: 294 - 4 |
| Weald had a particularly bad game away at Groombridge, bowling several short balls to a Groombridge batsman who relished every single one by sticking each ball in the trees for 6. When he finally holed out to Josh Salter in the deep, he'd already reached 124, and Weald's chances of winning the game were all but gone. Fielding and bowling poorly meant that the batting had to be good, and unfortunately it wasn't. Weald wickets again fell regularly throughout the innings and Weald were all out for 154. A real shame, but Weald must pick up the standard next week to stay in the top league. Weald lost by 140 runs. |

| Weald bowling first looked on course to skittle out Sissinghurst for under 120 runs, but a late resistance from the visitors saw them reach 183 all out. Best performances coming from Ryan Addison (4-37) and Dave Stringer (3-29). In response Weald lost regular wickets and at one point were 12-3 and then 46-5. A few players got going but never went on to post a good score, and in the end Weald were all out, falling 50 runs short. Things aren't looking too good now after losing 4 games and sitting at the bottom of the League. Weald lost by 50 runs. |

He was well supported by Steve Balcombe (31) and Andy Brooker (27).

Other contributions came from Andy Brooker (2-20) and Brad Clive (2-30). The home side eventually fell 106 runs short being bowled out for 94. Weald won by 106 runs. |

| Weald: 220 - 9 |
| Plaxtol: 315 - 9 |
| Weald fielded first on a very blustery and cloudy day for their second league game away to Plaxtol. The Plaxtol batsmen rode their luck for much of the first 20 overs, playing very aerial shots which were frequently uncontrolled. Plaxtol however being a rather small ground meant that swinging hard against some quick bowling allowed for mistakes to go unpunished more often than not. Weald not enjoying much luck with the ball not going to hand, coupled with a couple of drop catches, saw Plaxtol cruising on 185-1 after 20 overs. Weald fought back in the second 20, taking 8 wickets and conceding 130 runs. The pick of the bowlers being Steve Balcombe (5-70) and Dave Stringer (2-46). However, the damage had been done, and Plaxtol set the daunting target of 316 to win. Weald lost wickets frequently throughout their innings, and it was only Steve Balcombe (56) and Colin Simpson (49) who stuck around long enough to hurt the Plaxtol bowlers. A superb late flurry of hitting from 10 and 11, Johnny Fenn (26*) and James Cox (29*) got Weald over the 200 run mark for some more bonus points, but in the end Weald fell well short of the target. Weald lost by 95 runs. (8 points) |

| Weald vs. Leigh |
| Weald: 146 - 4 |
| Leigh: 142 ao |
| Weald's first league game of the 2011 season was at home to newly promoted Leigh. Batting first Leigh started strangely, looking to go after almost everything, they seemed in a hurry. Weald continued to bowl how they knew, and took regular wickets throughout the innings. Stars of the innings were Dave Stringer (5-23), Dave Clive (3-25) and Ryan Addison (1-35). Coupled with an excellent fielding display where Weald were catching pretty much everything, and a quick run out by James Cox, Weald were always going to bowl out the visitors. Leigh eventually were bowled out for 142, from only 33 overs. In reply, Weald got off to the best start possible with a 96 run opening partnership from Dave Clive (58) and Steve Balcombe (35). Clive and Balcombe made short work of the Leigh bowling attack. When these two disappeared the next few batsmen all chipped in to finish the job and win the match in only 24 overs. A great start to the season for Weald scoring a maximum of 20 points in their first league game. Weald won by 6 wickets. (20 points) |

| Weald: 144 ao |
| Edenbridge: 145 - 8 |
| The opening game of the 2011 season was a friendly away at Edenbridge. A beautiful hot spring day, and a lovely hard batting track to match. Weald unfortunately down to 10 players, batted first and found the opening bowlers hard to get away. Despite no large scores, most fo the batsmen chipped in with some half decent scores to end on 144 all out. Edenbridge started brightly, but were soon pegged back by good bowling from Cox (3-43) and John Blackman. Brooker and Balcombe also managed to cause the home team problems, but after a big middle order wobble, the result was obvious and Edenbridge limped home with just 2 wickets to spare. A good game nevertheless. Weald lost by 2 wickets. |
