We lost to them in the Essex finals at chelmsford. We had such a weak team. We normally play in a small school hall, and the chelmsford indoor school was huge compared to what we normally use. Also was a different ball used, it swung a mile where as the ones we normally use dont get above knee high and only go dead straight.

Well done on winning and you will find it will be a great day out.

I don't know, Pete.
Poole Town CC (dorset) have been the last 2 years and are going this year too!

Bruce I owe you an apology, Poole Town ...........as you said are going to the Finals day the letter that got copied to us had just had the venues of the Regional Finals on them so our Manager thought we were playing Taunton.  Well done to your lads and it will be interesting as we have then in the Semi. 

What standard is do they play??

[Bruce]

No worries mate!
They play Dorset Premier Division, a couple of County bowlers in their ranks, Namely Dan Belt their best Quick.
Ciaran Quinn is a very good all rounder too, he's had trials with Gloucstershire last year.
As mentioned before they were at finals day last year do they are fairly handy indoors!

Dan Belt doesn't play for Poole! He's a Dorchester bowler. I would think the Poole line up will include Ciaran Quinn, possibly Ben Rogers. Unfortunately I can't remember any of their bowlers, but Martin Ford used to play for them, however his years have caught up with him so I'll doubt he'll play

[Bruce]

You are right, I ways get Belt and Ford mixed up!

Had our last indoor game of the season today.
We posted a very low target of 70 a/o, i only contributed 10 from 4 balls before being bowled trying to smash the ball too hard.
Oppo we bowled out for 66. I was happy with my bowling, 3 overs, 0 maidens, 9 runs, 1 wicket.

Roll on some more outdoor sessions. Got our old coach/player back from long term illness which will benefit alot of people at our club.
