£100 challenge
« on: September 09, 2014, 08:40:09 PM »

Evening all just had an idea and thought I'd share it see if there was any interest just for a laugh.

So this forum is full of kit hoarders and bat badgers so here is the challenge. Budget is £100 not a penny more. The challenge is to get as close to a full set of kit that would see you through a match as possible for the money. Rules are simple

you must purchase the kit from stores, online ebay, forum etc not kit you already own.

The kit must be what you would already use so SH bat adult gloves etc. (no saving on jnr kit)

Kit can be new or used but must be in useable condition.

My thinking is that anyone interested in this for a laugh just registers there interest in this thread. We then have 4 weeks from a set date and go shopping and at another set date in the future we share our purchases. Maybe a forum admin could judge the winner.

Just an idea, so anybody think a good idea if so just say so. If not then no problems.

It's as much as you can get for £100 mate. Personally my first purchase will be a box lol.

Even if it's just two people in up for doing it, might give it a try even if this is a no go to see what I end up with!  :-[

Being a kit badger I'd happily buy a bat pads gloves. Even a thigh pad set.

Buy I have 3 boxes here. I'm not sure I want to buy another just for this??

Think i will do this. See what the best kit I can get for the cash and then chuck it in the club's kit bag.
