Well Christmas is behind us, so the cricket season is not far away. This season we will have a midweek blog, which will allow you to contribute your views & thoughts, should you have any ! To wet your appetite for the forthcoming season, here is an extract from the report for our last midweek match v Jonny's XIII. Please feel free to contribute.............
"Most people are happy with a good piss up & a present for their birthday, but not JY. He had to have his very own cricket match to celebrate his tedious milestone, and he challenged MCC accordingly. To qualify for his elite team, he required players to be either a) one of the Didcot IV b) be called Tom or c) have the surname Yaxley. Sadly Howard & Fuzz picked up "girly" injuries, much to Robbo's disapproval, and all Didcot Toms were unavailable, or too expensive. Amazingly JY is the best cricketer in his family, so he had to lower his standards, hired Will MacDonald,& eventually fielded a Baker's dozen against our more traditional XI. MCC batted first and registered an acceptable 141 from 20 overs. The Unwashed capitulated under aerial bombardment from Ivan's Donkey droppers, and fell miserably short.
Jonny had tried to get an eminent person to present the trophy, and he also asked Gerald, but ultimately he had to throw the Toys R Us shield at skipper Squires himself. Ed of course dropped it, so it's currently being repaired. "
