Title: Net at Dotball (Sheffield / M1 J31)
Post by: Ams4287 on March 25, 2015, 10:43:47 PM: Hi Guys

As some of you have been to we've organised a few forum nets at Dotball over the winter - is anyone up for probably a last indoor prior to the season starting / moving outdoors, over Easter?

I've no idea on net availability thought I'd start with confirming interest.

Cheers
Andy

Of course mate who do you play for? Based on numbers I'll book a 2 hour net - I'll update the thread later.

Someone needs to take responsibility for pics for the forum to prove that north notts, South / West Yorkshire, North Lincs branch does exist and ready to take on the southern softes 😉

Edit: net booked for Tuesday 7th April 7:30-9:30 (lane with run up). See you then - costs are obviously dependant on exact numbers but we have 8/9 (£48 in total).

Post by: SRH on March 30, 2015, 02:51:02 PM: I play in North Derbyshire chap, so fairly close. I am quite looking forward to this now. Obviously the actual netting element plays second fiddle to everybody's kit analysis.

Ah good stuff I'm in the Bassetlaw league and have played the likes of cutthorpe, Ashover, Alfreton, Pilsley, holmewood and a host of Chesterfield teams before the switched over to the Derbyshire league (showing my age there).

We did this on the 30th Dec and I'm guessing the willow collection on display would put a small retailer to shame!

I'm really sorry but might not be able to come to the nets on Tuesday.

Post by: smilley792 on April 04, 2015, 11:00:21 AM: I've stopped netting with my side, so really looking forward to this!

Post by: RF on April 05, 2015, 06:06:46 PM: Shall I bring my little brother?

He's a decent bowler and wouldn't be that bothered about having a bat
Title: Re: Net at Dotball (Sheffield / M1 J31)
Post by: Ryan on April 05, 2015, 08:30:29 PM: Really looking forward to this net, I maybe a little late but I'm defiantly coming.

Sorry lads about late notice I wanted to check out smiley new kit too
Title: Re: Net at Dotball (Sheffield / M1 J31)
Post by: Ryan on April 07, 2015, 04:55:41 PM: Is that because you don't want to face my bowling again Dave? [emoji14]
Title: Re: Net at Dotball (Sheffield / M1 J31)
Post by: smilley792 on April 07, 2015, 07:50:24 PM: Big apologise family emergency came up and I've only just got home.

I may have said but other things on my mind meant I forgot.
Title: Re: Net at Dotball (Sheffield / M1 J31)
Post by: Lumsden on April 07, 2015, 11:34:41 PM: Great nets this evening but I was absolutely jiggered afterwards. My stumps also got a good work out but fortunately I won't be facing Andy or the 2 lads from Derby anytime soon on a Saturday.
Title: Re: Net at Dotball (Sheffield / M1 J31)
Post by: SRH on April 08, 2015, 08:08:48 AM: Thanks to everybody who came to the nets last night at Dotball. A fine selection of willow on display (hopefully I contributed). And to @Ams487 sorry about that beamer chap!
Title: Re: Net at Dotball (Sheffield / M1 J31)
Post by: RF on April 08, 2015, 09:11:51 AM: It was good to meet you Steve. Your SS looked really good, very tempted to get one now.

I enjoyed the net nice to face some different bowlers (I think).

Thanks to Andy for organising it, maybe next time we can sort something outside

Post by: Lumsden on April 24, 2015, 06:33:00 PM: I have been speaking to a friend of mine from Leeds who this season has taken over running a Leeds side called Cambridge Methodists and they are on the look out for new players for their Sunday side.

The standard of opposition varies but they have a tough match coming up a week on Sunday (3rd May) against Yorkshire Gents at Escrick Park (just off the A19 between York and Selby). It's all day game with a cooked lunch and sandwiches at tea.

They've already got some good cricketers amongst their ranks but the skipper is looking to further strengthen the team and asked me if had any suggestions. Therefore I am wondering if those who attended the DotBall nets would be interested in playing some fixtures? In fairness the skipper did not set the bar too high, he just said just make sure they are better than you !!

To check out their fixtures for 2015 see the following website. http://cambridgemethodists.play-cricket.com/ (http://cambridgemethodists.play-cricket.com/)
