Today marked the beginning of weeks of aches and pains, hilarity of fielding fubars and plenty of "ducks" to pack the team bag! We lost to an Almouth XI which all the damage was done by 1st XI players in thier side.
Handy knock by Tony with 66 blazed runs and the master craftsman Mick Williams took 4/52 with the ball.
Today also marks the end of voting on the team name we will use (league committee permitting) for the 20/20 cup competition which gets underway in June at the halfway point of the season.
So the winner is... (Hollywood babe Angelina Jolie struggles to open the envelope...)
ROCK RAPTORS!!
Break down was as follows:
Rock Rampage - 16% (3rd - 4 Votes)
Rock Spartans - 4%
Rock Raptors - 28% (1st - 7 votes)
Rock Boulders - 8%
Rock Hammerheads - 4%
Rock Impact - 8%
Rock Velocity - 0%
Rock Rapids - 8%
Rock Royals - 24% (2nd - 6 Votes)
This will now be forwarded onto the League Secretary for approval.
On other news, some b*****ds have
nicked our gang mowers!! Our groundsman turned up on Thursday to cut the outfield only to be confused as to where the gang mowers were. It then sunk in.
With the club already committed to purchase a tractor as a replacement for the old jeep which is now so rusty it will soon degrade into its base elements and once again be at one with the Earth, also Tony wasn't keen on sharing his seat with the family of rats which live in the jeep over the winter (and summer months!), we will need to redouble our efforts to bring in more sponsorship to the club!
