I wouldnt say it was the worst tea, but playing against Ilford a few years ago, it must of been around 90 degree's and they served up a madras curry. At least a few of us got runs

Oh, should have said '' THE RUNS''

Maybe that's their tactic. Make the opposition incapable of playing so they win??

Nah, they normally just bring in a decent international or ex pro. At our place we just put too much out and hope to field first.

in the cambridgeshire league the eaton socon cc were very nice -the worst saffron walden 2nds cc big club that only care about there 1st team
my team weston colville cc do good teas that include chilli , curries and spaghetti bolognese

I'm a big fan of the Teas at Upminster CC, although any tea that has pizza and pasta is fine with me.

The worst teas I've had were at the already mentioned Ford Sports and Barking CC.

Barking is particularly entertaining because if you don't like Egg and Chilli or mystery paste sandwiches then you ain't eating.

Barking we got a full blown home made curry and rice with Naan bread. I think the 2s later in the year got a plate of very average cakes and sandwiches so maybe it depends who's in the team as to whos Mrs does the food

Hornchurch. You?

cool, one of the grounds in Essex i dont think ive played at, im at Walthamstow

When I played in one of the Middlesex league, the most loathed away fixture was North London Muslims. Most teams played in North West London, they played in Hackney, the pitch was hard to find and the teas were apparently crap and they took the mickey over what they charged for the teas

who did you play for in the middlesex league ?

Played at w'stow many times over the years. Last time we played there one of our players hit a six on to the roof of the houses opposite. Owner was far from impressed and called the police as he claimed it hit his head.

Thats happened twice in the 18 years i've been at the club, first time someone claimed it hit a roof tile which fell near him and wanted compensation the second time was the incident you mentioned. Both were told politely and formally where to go. We've been at Buck Walk for 102 years so they knew what was there when they moved in to the house.

Most of the residents are fine but the odd few do like a moan - they moan the conifer trees block out the light so they get the council to force us to trim them down by 15ft and then moan when the balls occasionaly clear the trees. 

The one time i remember seeing your lot at our place was when i got back from a 4th XI game to catch the end of a 1s game between our clubs, Chris Drum was bowling possible the quickest deliveries i've ever seen in club cricket

I remember that game well. I opened up with Chris Drum that game and it was a lively track. Always had fond memories playing at the stow.

[mdg20]

Yeah the old track was "interesting" in those days
