Hi, I'm looking for some lads to have winter nets with in the Scunthorpe / Sheffield area.

My club's nets don't start till late Feb and I'm missing playing.

Anyone interested?

I'm from sheff and may be interested,

Where abouts in sheff are you? As there's a few net places about. And do you play in sheff?

Smiley you know I'll make one - if Headingly is a no go I'm up for something this way (maybe Dave, Ryan and Simmy would be up for it as it's not that far).

RT I live in Retford and put something out a week or so ago for the same reasons, maybe add to that thread mate?

I live in between Scunthorpe and Doncaster.
I play in the Lincolnshire League for a team called Outcasts.
It's about 35 /40 mins for me to get to Sheffield but that's no problem, there are no decent facilities in Scunthorpe.
I was thinking about going to Headingley on the Procoach course but it's a bit expensive.
Retford is about 30 mins from me as well, that could be an option, we play some teams from Gainsborough way on a Sunday

Hi mate

Round me the better facilities are Cuckney cc (on the way to Mansfield) or Dotball at M1 J31 as I work up the A1 off the M62 that's also an option. We'll see on anymore posts on both threads and see if we can get consensus

[smilley792]

I'm actually at dotball.


May see what time there open over Xmas, then try to book something.


If it's popular may try book one weekly. Although have to be a Tuesday or Thursday for me at mo.

AMS - OK let me know, I didn't want to gatecrash your Headingley thread incase you were all mates (or loads better than me).

Boondougal - Yes, it's Russ, who are you?

Haha can't say I'm surprised guess the question is which bat you using! Dates would be good mate

Russ don't worry buddy it's just a who's up for it forum thing, for sure I bet some of the guys are very good - personally I play in a average standard more for enjoyment (plus when you get to mid 30s it's downhill lol)

[smilley792]

That's was meant to say

"I'm actually at dotball in the morning, will ask......"

Seems I got side tracked and never finished the first sentence. Haha. Will update in morning,

B3 net bat plus gm octane shall be getting a run out tomoz.

AMS - Sounds like me, average standard and mid 30's!

Let me have know what dates work and we'll try and fix something up, would be good to net with some different people, our opening bowler has broke his arm and 4 other lads from my club are in Australia.

None of the older lads from the club are interested in practicing during winter

[Boondougal]

Mid 30's? That's 6 months away mate. Not too mention you'll be there 7 hours before me!

[RF]

Boondougal - That can only be one person, just PM'd you mate!

[Ams4287]

Dotball is open 27th - 30th Dec if anyone fancys a post Christmas net

Would be good to get 6 and get a lane with a run up for a bowl

[procricket]

I'm good when anybody else is and i have a few more trial bats for people to slug at including this shoulder cut thingy
