2022
The 2nd XI again played in the Cherwell Cricket League Division 3A in 2022. The squad was much changed from the previous promotion-chasing season, and with difficulty getting a consistent XI, consistency on the field also suffered. Several players made the step up from the 3rd XI, but it was a tough season, with 1 win the last 9 sadly leading to relegation to Division 4A for 2023.
George Patey and Robbie Jackson took over the Second XI captaincy this season. Richard Carr won the batting award and co-Captain Jackson won the bowling award.

2021
The 2nd XI played a full COVID-interruption free season in the Cherwell Cricket League Division 3. After losing just 1 of the first 9 games, Thame were in the hunt for promotion in what was a very tight fight at the top. Stuttering form towards the end of the season meant that going into the final match the 2s could gain promotion to Division 2 with a win, but 4 other teams were also in with a shout. A gutting defeat on the final day to Minster Lovell meant that they went up at Thame’s expense.
Oli Sutcliffe was the Second XI captain this season. Matt Furness won the batting award, and Greg Jenkins won the bowling award.
