Having got off to a great start by winning our first game things have stalled rather. After seventeen matches arranged we have three wins and seven defeats. We have also had seven games cancelled, five due to rain, one to football and one to covid. Well there we go.
The last game of a rain soaked and eventful season. Cheriton stepped up to the plate with a nicely cut pitch bathed in the September sun, a really quiet, lovely place to sign off our season. The day had started really well when our man Andy J announced his engagement Surely this was a sign? Phil M was talking about what reds were decent on the WhatsApp and Gavin was still showing us pictures of his new bats, even though we weren't seeing him today. Life felt pretty good.
Five Rivers CC, a new team brought to us by Harry. It would be fair to say that the horses were restless in this build up. Harry has arrived to us with a club pedigree and plays in a team that travels.
Harry, ever the gent, reassured us and was true to his word. When we arrived there were some old friends in the their ranks Toby, Duncan and the irrepressible Dave T and then a fair few players who looked the real deal.
Jono, Will and Pete had had a good chat beforehand and there was NO WAY we were going to play any more than 30 overs against a team that are used to 40 over games. We agreed that they should bat first just in case of any Next week us three will renegotiate the Brexit deal as we clearly are a bunch of hard cases Ed: Harry said that they would have batted first if they had won the toss.
