Title: Midweek Game Thursday 15th August (H4L game) - team selection
Post by: uknsaunders on May 03, 2013, 04:19:25 PM
Hi All,

After a long drawn out selection process (me being lazy) I have come up with an 11. Thanks to all those who put their hands up and those who were honest enough to realise they couldn't do it in hindsight. The team was based on a combination of those who originally put their hands up, a bit of ability, a bit of balance and reliability.

The CBF Team:-

Soulman
Procricketer1982
Mr CBF himself
Manormanic
Pistol101
Farnham_Quins_2
Jake
Me (self appointed captain)
Charlie15
TBC ????
Ciaran


The game kicks off at 11am, please be there 30 mins beforehand. I would suggest an hour as we normally spend plenty of time chatting. Cost of the day is £25 and includes lunch, tea and supper. Over the next few weeks, I'll organise collection of monies from you. Ground is here:-

Matt, you were talking about popping down to your workshop prior to the game. Any more news on this?

I doubt it, had problems remembering who was ok so it kind of came evolved into 11. I think I have the batters and bowlers at the right ends but that's about it.

No worries, not fussed, i'm sure we will all get a good game.

Will be a good game to watch for any kit badgers nearby, no doubt there will be a lot of top stash knocking about!

Had a text the other day and a promise of menu details - the single most important thing imho. Don't know too much else about the oppo apart from Matt plays for them!

For those currently playing, I do need to collect £25 from each of you (I know some of you have chased me). I'll PM details and everybody has to pay prior to the event. No pay no play.

On the topic of players I do have one spot spare now. Since it was a while back, I'm open to volunteers.

Chris - it doesn't matter what you will use, you have to bring several with you, to show off.

At the last game, Simmy and I were waving our respective weapons at each other within minutes of meeting!

The only bad part of teaching (Being a head of year anyway) during the summer holidays! Going in for the exam results which happen to be on this day. Would have been all over it otherwise!

Good luck to anyone that gets the chance :)

Can we get the full address from Matt or who ever you have as a contact for this match. When I google stone it shows the one in Dartford which is wrong.

I have tried stone cc near Tenterden, plus the road name and got nothing?

Cheers mate.
