Ooooooh! Frosty Balls - who's playing tomorrow?
« on: April 22, 2016, 11:50:39 AM »

I've got my first game tomorrow, and I hear it's going to be a little bit nippy out!

In addition to this, I appear to have fallen into the 2nd team due to my magnificent benders in the nets. I was quite chuffed about this until I realised we are playing Weybridge 2XI, a Surrey premiership side, bursting with pre-season talent and young, thrusting bucks.

So, if you want to see a fat, bald man chasing leather around a small ground, or getting pinned repeatedly in the man-boobs by hostile young quicks, then Weybridge is the place to be.

Where are you all playing tomorrow?

Club day tomorrow, 1st away in league, so the other three teams turn up at 12 and we make teams up and play...  But yes will be chilly..

playing away in Telford myself against a team that was promoted last year so should be fun as the skins and jumpers are already packed

looking forward to WATCHING the young lads chase the ball while I direct them and cheer them on from slip

This is my first year as fixture secretary and I've certainly had a baptism of fire. Both games scheduled for this weekend pulled out leaving me with no oppo! I filled my fixture card back in January and thought to myself 'Well, that was easy. I don't know what the old guy was moaning about.'. I hope it's not a sign of things to come!

Saturday game called off due to opposition can't raise a side.

Sunday game still on and I'm on tea duties. Can't wait to start playing.

Our lass in her Victoria's Secret stash of lingerie or fat blokes in whites?? Hmm I know who I'd rather be with on a Sunday.

First preseason friendly tomorrow away against Frenchay CC, nice big open windy ground is just what you want... Hoping the temperatures will just about nudge into double digits, I went outside on Monday morning this week and immediately ordered a baselayer - don't think jumpers are gonna cover it! The past two years this fixture's been a runfest and I've missed out both times, better concentration required tomorrow.

Best of luck all.

May your edges fly to the third man boundary and your long hops end up caught in midwicket's jumper.

I'm playing tomorrow hopefully - the square didn't look great on Tuesday: http://i.imgur.com/owWfGCf.jpg

It's since been rolled daily and the outfield's been cut. It's been dry the last couple of days as well so hopefully it'll come up somewhat playable, otherwise we'll have to use the artificial.

Eeyore has two games and both times I'll have 400 balls pre game just to get the feet moving.,sadly I missed out on a fifth 50 in a row last week with a 42* but let's hope I can get back in the runs. Still not really moving the feet as well outside as in but scoring loads off the back foot as bowlers still get sucked into bowling back of a length or short .. Nom nom nom

2xi huh Bruce, you'll be in the 1xi by the end of th season at this rate !!
