Title: Rematch Sports
Post by: tim2000s on November 28, 2012, 11:01:19 AM
Thecord and I ended up with each other's kit by accident. I got in touch with Rematch and they have agreed to arrange for FedEx to collect and redeliver (at no cost to us) and credit each of our accounts with £5. Excellent customer service.

The chap I spoke to also explained that they are the Newbery clearance outlet and that with a number of Cricket retailers going bust, they are being used to clear down that stock with a minimal mark-up so that it is moved on quickly. They had noticed the uptick in orders they received when that link was posted in the ebay bargains thread too.

Hope to see them on here soon!

After getting my order wrong I contacted Rematch Sports customer services and have got to say the guy Robert was a great help and offered me a great deal to compensate.

Ordered a set of Newbery SPS youth pads RH and 2 pairs of Newbery SPS gloves RH but got one pair of RH and one pair of LH.

Was hoping to send them back and get a RH pair. But sadly they have sold out of youth SPS gloves.

Robert offered to send me a pair of Newbery Thruxton gloves instead and to refund the cost of one of the pairs of gloves and let me keep the LH pair for free.

Couldn't be more happy with the offer, wasn't expecting such a good offer.

Some of the best customer service iv experienced.

Maybe they've got a rogue work experience guy working on the packing side??

If these guys turn up as a sponsor on here the competition from retailers will be huge, and the big winners will be us!!!

Lucky you , I tried yesterday but were out of stock. Are they snug fit or loose ?
Title: Re: Rematch Sports
Post by: SOULMAN1012 on November 28, 2012, 09:18:44 PM
They are a nice fit to be honest. They fit my average adult hands perfectly and also with fingerless inners worn as well. For £20 a great bargain.

Wanting to order the sps gloves in Lh, im 16 and have smallish hands, grey niccols small mens fits me, so would youth be the better option over standard mens?
Title: Re: Rematch Sports
Post by: Rematch Sports on November 30, 2012, 10:08:39 AM
Hi jimster, The SPS Youth gloves do feel slightly bigger then other Youth gloves. Unless you use batting inners in which case i would go for the mens.

Which ever size you go for, if you get them back and they feel a little tight or lose depending what you opt for we would be more then happy to swap them for the other pair.

Hope that helps.

Hi rematch,

How often to you get new stock in and is it only Newbery stuff?

If you had a regular stream of heavily discounted, surplus stock you are in the right place to get rid quickly!!

Title: Re: Rematch Sports
Post by: jamesisapayne on November 30, 2012, 12:19:01 PM
My bat and gloves arrives this morning and i only ordered them yesterday lunchtime. To say i'm impressed is an understatement - photos later tonight!
Title: Re: Rematch Sports
Post by: Rematch Sports on November 30, 2012, 12:54:15 PM
Hi The_Bird,

We get new stuff in on a regular basis, we have Newbery GT softs coming in as well as the entry level range the B52 softs, The B52 gear will be priced to clear at £20 for a pair of gloves and pads. We will hopefully be getting Salix gear in around january time as well.

Currently we only have the B52 range in the cricket bats however because of the strong links we have with Newbery we can buy in any newbery bat that a customer requires and we will always sell it at a rematch price. For example we can sell a Newbery Thruxton Player bat for £155 £45 cheaper then any where else online. If any one wants to get a Rematch price on any Newbery or Gray Nicolls cricket equipment then check out the " I am looking for..." section of the website.

I wish I'd waited a bit now before ordering after hearing you get regular stock, I went for the newbery sps2 gloves but the sps1 look better - damn my impatience.

Just thought i'd post say thanks to Rematch. Ordered a B52 Bomber Players on Thursday and it came today :) Got a free pair of Newbery SPS 1 Gloves and a free grip too. Bat is absolutely spot on - came in the weight i ordered certainly cannot grumble for £125 all in.

Pics of the bat to follow.....

Here it is in all its glory. Weight is 2.11 bang on, 7 grains (2 heartwood), picks up surprisingly well. Bat for comparison is a 2.10 Redback LE
