Aston hammered again...............

Thanks to Volvo & Swagger for giving me a break from the blog, but my fans have now demanded I return.

But first a Tappin Cup postscript.................Georgia has just got a new pet, and she tells me she wants to call her rabbit Lockey. As I wasn't at the TC, I'm not sure of the significance of this news, but I can tell you, Georgia hasn't stopped laughing for a week- what's this all about eh ?

Anyway back to BrummyWindBag & The Dudlaay Boys. I must say BWB looked a little deflated when I saw him; perhaps he was remembering the heavy defeat his DB's suffered here last time, or maybe he just took the wrong exit off spaghetti junction. Whatever the reason, it was certainly easier on the ear this time, and he's now officially downgraded to just BB. No "our Graham" this time either for Thompy to torture; his replacement being Bryn Rhys Huw-Jones, from I'm not quite sure where ?

Moreton selection news centred around Volvo choosing to attend a gay picnic by the river rather than help his "Midweek" mates win a game of cricket. In a risky move, Volvo sent his younger bro Lachlan to take his place, and he immediately slotted into the team, with the added bonus that he actually brushes his hair.

Unfathomably, Bomber appointed himself "fielding coach", demonstrating to Sammy and others, how to get your "hot pie cabinet" behind the ball and prevent a boundary. More Tee Hee Hee than MCC, but thanks for your input Bomber !

With Al & Swagger bowling well, but without luck, Skip decided to bring on Wicksy for some of his new medium pace cutters. Wicksy though, had other ideas, insisting that it was December already, and reverted to his generous spin drivel. Whatever he may tell his grandchildren, he just got lucky when their number 3 smashed one with a pretty ribbon it, straight to "Sorry" on the boundary. In another inspired change, Jonny chucked Thompy the ball, and once he had picked it back up off the floor, he struck gold with his first delivery. Smithy repeated the trick, and Fletch helped their tail increase their bowel movements with some lively pace at the end.

Target 151- gettable, but no "walk in the park"

As usual "the tall ones" got us off to a flier with 30 on the board after just 2 overs. Next in Lachlan, who whilst his bro was nibbling at cucumber sandwiches, decided he should uphold family honour by blasting 28 in double quick time, before retiring. Meanwhile Ed continued the retirement party theme with a majestic 25, and even Bomber weighed in with an unbeaten 33. We were now in danger of running out of carriage clocks, so Smithy & Fletch decided to "push it" for an early finish; victory, a "walk in the park", was sealed by 9 wickets with 3 overs to spare. A superb batting performance to mask the slightly "iffy" efforts in the field- Bomber will be offering more fielding tips if anyone cares to listen.....................................no thought not.

Next Week, Daisy Duck goes to Bordeaux- Bon Chance to all !

We'll be back at The Croft on Thurs 15th July v Wally Squash Club
