Hi guys
As my search for a friendly side failed miserably, I'm after a new club!
I'm a front line off spinner (with a somewhat Paul Adams action) who owns plenty of bats. Happy to bat anywhere from 1 to 11 as long as I get a decent bowl ;)
Available Saturdays, Sundays and midweek. If we can sort transfer papers etc I'm available ASAP
P.S I have my own transport and am fully house trained.

You're leaving your club because they don't have a friendly side Cam?
Don't suppose you fancy a jaunt up to Watford every weekend?

No mate, far from it (and I'm down to play a friendly for mycurrent club this Sunday).
I'm planning to leave my current club for a range or reasons (which I will not disclose here out of respect for what they have done for me over the years). All I will say is that it isn't the same club it once was, and change is not always a positive thing.
I had planned on playing friendly cricket for someone else this season to get to know people, with the intention of joining as a full member next season. Broken thumbs and illness meant I wasn't able to do this as planned.

Have a couple of mates who play for Portsmouth, Porchester and Waterlooville....as well as Havant. Any of those any good to you mate?

this aint helping but when I was about 15 we used to tour Hampshire over 2 days and played at East Woodhay CC, there was a little pub we went to out in the sticks that stayed open until we all left and it's the first time I got to play the 'bottle game'
great memories.

Have you tried Hambledon Cam? I still know a couple of guys there and after a couple of years turbulence they are rebuilding the club and it seems like there is a great atmosphere at the minute. Plus you get the benefit of playing for the club where it all began.

you also have the benefit of drinking at the Bat & Ball pub after the game. Played many games there growing up and playing in Portsmouth

Thanks for the suggestions guys
Portsmouth - There's a few (all of which are terrible for parking) - will consider
Porchester - work with one of their players, will ask him for more details next week.
Waterlooville - A former teammate recently made the move. Possibility
Havant - Not the easiest ground for me to get to every week (I made my 1st XI debut at Havant Park so have fond memories)
Hambledon - Not too far from me, another club I will definitely have a look at
-
Get something sorted Cam, life's too short to not play cricket
And I'll drop the Toro off for you to have a slog with
-
@WalkingWicket37 - got to be Hambledon surely? Lovely place to play cricket, and seemed to be a friendly bunch.
-
Yeah Ridge Meadow is a wonderful place to play.
-
Did you get to join a club at all?
-
Nothing as of yet
Options being kept open before I burn any bridges at my current club
-
I play for (& for some reason have become vice captain of the 2nd XI) for Froxfield (just up the road from Petersfield).
The 1st XI play county division 4 south and the 2nd XI play regional division 3 north east (due to the Hampshire Cricket League restructure for next season). We are always on the look out for new players.
Let me know if you would be interested in joining us.
