Winter nets with Ansty starting on Sunday, so getting my kit ready. Can't wait to get started after a difficult winter personally, though I've trained with Sussex University side over the last term and been asked to take a sickie each Wednesday that we have a fixture.
Kit for this season as follows:
Bats left to right- Kookaburra Impulse 950 from 2014, 2lb7oz. Taped back together for winter nets. Hunts County from their eBay run of 'pro grade' bats, 2lb8oz. Used in a couple of nets, ridiculous ping and grains. GN F18, previous owner bought from IJC going by the sticker, haven't used yet but another 2lb7oz. B3 shape 19 3 stripe, still the best bat I've ever used but may not last the season.

I also have my GM Flare 2lb9oz somewhere, and a Kookaburra Xenon 950 in need of a new handle that I picked up on eBay for £30ish last season.
I am having cravings for another B3 once mine gives up, a GN Atomic and there is a GN Prestige on eBay at present that I am tempted by.
Softs: GN Prestige pads and gloves from 2017, Pro Players thigh pads.

Other bits I am looking at are some Legend gloves if I can get them cheap somewhere, and some GN keeping kit to use when coaching. Once I am working I will be looking to pick up a couple of GN bats, either projects or new.
