Link to Scorecard After coming off the back of two unsuccessful chases versus Spencer Bruerne and Old in previous weeks, I could be forgiven for fearing the worst as GP found themselves in the field first on a hot day with a good pitch at Mears Ashby. Mears Ashby Innings GP had a difficult start...

broken fortress, grange park vs old 3rds
Link to Scorecard Fortess Foxfields? Meh… You welcomed Old 3rds to Foxfields on Saturday, an eagerly awaited contest after giving them a cricketing lesson 2 seasons ago.

Grand Prix weekend saw us travel to Hinton in the Hedges (yes, thank you league fixture secretary, another game for us to have to travel past Silverstone on race weekend) to take on the side just below us in the league. Fielding a weakened team without Lee, Mark and Ash could somebody else step up to...

Half way through the season and everyone’s looking at the stats. Not whose top (we are now 2nd) but who is in pole position to take the duck from its latest owner, Matty ‘golfer’ Young. More on that later. To be fair it’s quite boring for the duck, 5 people have one blob whilst we...

The red tops can write them so why not Dot. Souvenir pull out edition you might call it. I have felt inclined to write a little cheeky match report of the World Cup. Again Dot reminds all the squad and manager that… 1. No court cases for slander as there might be the odd unfounded...
