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?
Well done Brucey, they won't know what to make of you - perhaps it all started with those Oval nets in the autumn
Good luck. A bit frustratingly I seem to be further away from the 2nd XI than I was last season owing to an influx of players into the 1s, in spite of making a good start in my first friendly last Sunday, 38 on a deathly slow pitch and even slower outfield (well that's good by my standards in alien conditions for me). Think I'll have to score shedloads to get a look in.
