Week 4




Disaster all round, from what I can understand, a bit like UK’s entry in Eurovision. So where do I start:

  • Half the 2nd XI went AWOL, trying to find the ground to where they were travelling, ths turning up late.
  • Six dropped catches in the 2nd’s.
  • On the subject of batting collapses, the 1st XI was doing ok when I left.
  • I have dropped down the league in the Fantasy T20 Cricket league form 1st to 2nd - gutted.
So, the positives:

  • The 1st XI are in the next round of the cup.
  • Gary Thomas got a hatful of wickets.
  • I had a nice tea thanks to Pauline.
Personally, I am somewhat disappointed I didn’t make it to the 2nd XI game, buying cider at a food and drink festival had a bit of a knock on effect, but I did have a nice tea. Have I mentioned that?

In all, these are the first defeats for both senior sides this season, something no doubt both captains will reflect on.

It was great to see Norman Hicks at the ground on Saturday, a former Over Stowey “great”. To hear he is retiring from work within the next 12 months just goes to show how time creeps up on you. Hope to see you at the ground more often Norman.

Not much more to say really, the match reports speak for themselves. So next week a double header against Bishops Hull, now that is something to look forward to. And yes Carl, I shall be there.
