As a junior I played for a few, egremont when we entered a team if not it was one of St Bees or The Sun Inn. It has probably been 10 years ago I played, when I was 16.

Playing against him at Cockermouth school once and I retired in the first 5 balls of the innings, 5 hip high full tosses all hit over the hedge on to the road! Was like facing the pastry shelf out of greggs! Meat and potato pies everywhere!

"Bowlers name?" "Mr P. Chucka!" haha. Well he hasn't got any better marra, when you bowl that slowly and still miss the carpet from time to time, somethings going seriously wrong!!

Haven't played down at St Bees for years! Lovely ground if I remember right (the school is a nice ground too) but bloody windy!

OMG two fellow Cumbrians, I might be playing against you next year @northernboy1987 as I play for Moorhouse in the mid-week league (you guys got promoted this year right?). I fancied a trip to B3 @shamelessshaun but like you said its like 3.5hrs drive just to get down there!!

This is like the entire population of Cumbria (minus the sheep) on the same forum!!!! Ahh spot on, yeah we got promoted in the CDCL (despite my best efforts haha ) where do you guys play your home games is it at Pirelli? You won't fail to recognise me when we play 1: I'm the skipper and 2: I look more like a caveman than a cricketer haha! I'm totally in the same boat re: B3 the drive (to be fair it's the same to get anywhere from West Cumbria) puts me off. Shame about that cricket shop in Penrith shutting down like.

Yeah we play at Pirelli but that could change come the start of the season next year as they are planning to build on the site soon. Yeah its a shame there isn't a dedicated cricket shop in Cumbria anymore and I hate shopping online when it comes to cricket stuff as I want to try before I buy.

We play at Nelson Tomlinson School at Wigton, it's alright like, quite big boundaries though.

I don't mind ordering online so much if I can talk to someone trustworthy/reputable first, like I have no qualms ordering from IJC for example (although I've never bought a bat there to be fair) but I had H4L make me a bat based on me roughly describing what I wanted on an email and I couldn't be happier! A lot of the lads on our team are very much try before you buy though so I understand where you're coming from.

Also if you play us next year wait till you see one of our guys bats, it's the definition of village, more tape than bat.

I think we've completly derailed this topic haha, we've also got a guy in our team with a bat covered head to toe in tape (electrical tape as well!!!). The new Warbird from H4L looks top dollar, gonna be hard to resist buying one
