24 hours to go and it's called off

Yep sorry people - because of the recent rain (Nearly 2 weeks of it now) the wicket at Welstead is so wet that the games been cancelled. But along with Sports Science we're looking to get another game set up as soon as possible. I kind of get the feeling that "Dean Mr 6 Wells" is gagging to get at us after his good performance last Friday - he was hitting 6's all over the shop as Simon warned he might do from the very beginning of us challenging them to a game. Dean's looking to get our first game set up as soon as possible but there's still issues over how soon can people get there from work. It might be that the game starts slightly later?

Good news for us is that Rod The Aussie is back in the UK as from Saturday which means we'll be up to full numbers again.

Practice

Hopefully on Friday Alex (The Capt) will be rallying the team for a practice this Sunday at 10.00. So let's hope for a good turn out. Some people need the practice before the game and we all certainly need to practice catching the ball.

  2. Chris yeah we're hoping to practice this Sunday but I've managed to score 'The Rec' so meet us over at the Rec at 10.00. I've just been over GT Berry today (Fri) between 11.30 and 2pm and me and Nakul have been on the field in the evenings recently too. Try and get your other mates to turn up at the Rec as well as we're short of people for the practice and it'll be a shame to miss out practicing on a real wicket. Dave
