Living a couple of miles from Walworth, I was invited to pop over to It's Just Cricket for a sneak preview prior to it opening on 25th February.
This morning I drove over and spent an hour in the shop with Paul. On arriving I discovered that the on street parking is free at the weekends, which is great if you are going to buy a load of kit, and I had no trouble finding somewhere to park.
I approached the shop
And Paul welcomed me in. Let me introduce the Legend himself:
The shop is currently very well stocked with loads of kit from loads of manufacturers and has the wonderful smell of Willow and Rubber that you only get in a cricket shop.
There is a wide range of brands for everyone, with my favourite possibly being the GM Original LE Icon. Stunning cosmetically!
But it's not just about GM. There is Kookaburra, Bradbury, GN, BoomBoom, Mongoose, Willowstix, SS, Hunts and I'm sure I've forgotten others. A very nice range and a lovely Stick...
It's Just Cricket also caters for the Junior player, with a good range here as well.
As you look around, there is plenty on offer, including loads of options in softs, protection and helmets, not to mention boxes of bags awaiting display!
There is also a footwear range, Kook sunglasses and what every cricket shop needs, yes, loads of balls...
A key thing to remember is that It's Just Cricket is also an Ayrtek stockist, so if you want to try one, pop along and stick your noggin in:
That's it for the starter. I'll be back a little later to talk about my chat with Paul and show off a couple of things of which he is rather fond!
