Saturday 2nds vs. Ditchling Strollers, 22nd
May
And it started out such a good day....
The sunning were shining, plenty of banter between the
team ranging from Windy’s dancing in Shelleys on the thursday night, Revvin’s
attempts to talk on friday afternoon and Brighton’s superb play-off semi-final
win against Swindon... We even had “ A Town Called Malice “ and “ Sweet Home
Alabama “ blaring away on the way down to Plumpton College, alas this was the
last enjoyable moment of the game.
Highlights :
Skeletor – Knock of 34. Managed to use his powers to
annoy their fast bowler.. Must have been on a lucky run after the previous
weeks £8 win on “ Guess how many balls Pete Bradbury faced for his 18 runs “
competition. Although it must be said, after finding out at change of innings
that he recognised the quick bowler as the one who broke his rib two years ago
he tried to inspire us all to bowl them out and win the game..... didn’t
work.....
James Ralph – Ok he got a duck and went for 12 off 2
overs but he did the honorable thing and bought a couple of rounds of beers in
the pub... although I think that may have had something to do with the fit
barmaid and asking for crisps which just happened to be on the bottom shelf...
Winston – Squealed like a pig when he got to the crease but still
scored more runs than the apparent premier batsman in the team. Also took their
only wicket.
Being back in the pub for the last two minutes of the
cup final
The drunken team night out that followed our debacle
on the cricket pitch
Lowlights :
Too many to mention, have you seen the scorecard??!!
Special mention though to Barry Dance – He may have
hit the back of the net twice yesterday but got a golden duck and was hit for
14 in his solitary over including a 6. Was it worth turning up?
Oh and Zim – supposedly the best catcher in the
club..... Next time, use your hands rather than your mouth!
Roll on next game....

Bizarrely,
the scores appear to be level – but we lost …
