It’s been quite a while since we had a CBF outing.
https://x.com/kilvecricket/status/1022801927388782593?s=46&t=FSxTOYdq0fEvG-ZoANCHwQ
Happy to sort another game if we have interest… the club is in Somerset near the M5 at Bridgwater
Thinking a week day at start of August

Great lads at Kilve, very good pub with rooms in the village too
Any interest before I do too much more?
-
Cracking, I'd be up for it again mate
-
Defo keen, been a decade since we played the CBF game v H4L team I reckon.
-
Yep me too loved it last time
Your turn to drive @Neon Cricket 😂
-
I'd be keen if you're happy that a) I'm a newbie and b) my enthusiasm definitely outweighs my talent.
-
Of course, there was always the original CBF match, that is now shrouded in the mists of legend and myth!!!!

Last time I drove us to a CBF event it cost me £85 and 4 hours of my time... :D

Enthusiasm > Ability is a key selection criteria for the CBF XI - you're in!
-
Tom and I would be very happy to play again and fly the flag for Cornwall, if we are welcome back after last time!
-
Yeah I'm definitely keen to do this again
-
Definitely keen again!
-
Keen. V.keen

You can add me too. Looks a great event all round.
-

Is Tom allowed in Somerset anymore?
-
Happy to be included. Especially if you're in need of 46 year old carcass who can't throw anymore.

Right then, when I get a moment, I’ll compile a list of those that could be interested…
It looks very possible

So aiming for Wednesday 31st July
Or Friday 2nd August
So far we have early interest from
@Thorne_Cricket
@SOULMAN1012
@Neon Cricket
@Ayrtek Cricket
@velvetsky01
@willmau5
@AlRidd (and Tom)
@edge
@LEACHY48
@Mpt7
@Purist90
@Tailendfielder
@DiscoStu
@Bruce
@KettonJake
The club hosts many regular touring sides and everyone that wants to play is more than welcome.
I’ll make sure we have umpires & scorers too.
Any more?
-
Can we tempt @FattusCattus to unleash some of his benders?
-
Sadly Jakeus, I haven't unleashed my benders for a few years now. My unpredictable missiles are safely back in the pouch!
-
Long live the king 👑
-
Excellent.
The Friday would be perfect from my end, but I'll be in whatever the date!
-
Gents,
Just to let you know I emailed the nearby Hood Arms Inn for potential room availability on both days.
All 8 rooms are currently available on both the Wednesday or Friday nights.
4 rooms can convert into twins also. (They didn’t mention prices yet but happy to quote accordingly)
So the world is our oyster!
Personally I have no problem with either match day.
Wednesday allows to get back for league cricket or a have nice long weekend by the coast. 😎
-
Should anyone prefer to camp down the ground that’s also an option.
Shall we say the Wednesday as it gives everyone the chance to “recover” for league cricket?
Any volunteers to captain and set up a WhatsApp group?
-
Wednesday works better for me, would have to step aside if it were the Friday.
-
It’s been a few years since attempting 2 games in 2 days…the stairs were a challenge after 1.5 hrs of nets last night 🥴
-
Totally relate to that. Last time I kept wicket in a league game I ended up having to walk upstairs backwards for the rest of the weekend.

Sounds good - happy to volunteer to manage a WhatsApp group.
Anyone interested, if you PM me your WhatsApp number then I'll set a group up :)
-
@KettonJake has Captain written all over him (usually in crayon!)

11 games in 13 days is my record, but that was a decade ago.
Not sure about me skippering, we'll end up with 11 batsmen.
-
Right I've had 5 messages so far with numbers, any other takers before I set the group up?
(If you already have my number just ping me a message!)
-
Sent you a DM buddy
-
With the game just over a month away at the gorgeous Kilve cricket ground.
If you think you can get a day off on Wednesday 31st July and you can unofficially represent the forum. Please drop me a message, still a a couple slots to fill.
Just by joining the whatsapp group you get exclusive access to content such as world class leg spin videos and images bat carousels.

There has been quite alot of admin dealing with all the messages from the previous post. But i still have a couple of spots that need filling filling for a game at the gorgeous seaside ground of Kilve on 31st July.
I don’t particularly want to fill up with ringers, so please stick your hand in.

What's the kick off time?
