With both senior sides not having a game at the weekend, as
they were due to play Bishops Hull, a well deserved rest was had by all.
There was a game on Sunday, a friendly against Kilve, which
I believe they won, however getting a side was, well what can I say,
interesting indeed.
On Monday, only two names were on the list to play. Stuart
sent a message on social media to see if anyone was available. By Friday a team
was all but selected and take on our near neighbours. A good effort by all;
especially on a beautiful August weekend, right in the middle of the summer
holidays.
However, one thing puzzled me was conversation I noticed on
the club’s chat forum, it went something like this:
Jack
(Sunday Morning): Boys, 2pm start today, so be there for 1.45.
Shay
(2.29, Sunday Afternoon): Where was everyone?
Mike
(2.30, Sunday Afternoon): It’s at Kilve, isn’t it!
Shay (2.31, Sunday Afternoon):
Oh, thought it was at Stowey.
Nice one Shay, made me chuckle as I was supping the “Devils”
drink (lager) Sunday afternoon at a Steam Fayre. They ran out of cider if you
are beginning to worry! Don’t forget Shay, the 2nd XI are away on
Saturday at Fitzhead!
Thankfully I have never turned up at the wrong ground, been
to a few grounds where there are more than one pitch and have been to places
where I have struggled to find the ground. On one occasion I asked a local
where the ground is, and I must of asked the only person who is deaf in the
village!
So we are now in August, which means one thing: the end of
the cricket season is nigh. Saying that, the 2nd XI still have four
games and the 1st team go on into September and have five games
left. Plus the inter-club game on Sunday 30th August, so yes, still
plenty of cricket to be played at the business end of the season.
That’s all for now, a well deserved Thatchers is beckoning
and the fourth Ashes Test is fast approaching.
