What are the SCC selection rules?

SCC law

Comrades, it is with a happy heart that I get to re-stipulate our selection process. A happy heart because we have many keen players. So below are the unchanged rules for selection as first drawn up on 26th April 2011.

Penn Street match is now a week away ~ To play, you must pay!

SELECTION CONSIDERATIONS

  • For proper match team selection, we shall have to apply some schedules to selection based upon:
    • 1st choice selection is carried out up until four weeks before the game. Those offered places will be those who are:
      • Founder Members (played in our first match in 2010 at Welford and those played 2011 season) and members of The SCC
      • AND are fully paid up or who immediately pay up fully upon offer.
    • 2nd choice selection is made from 2-4 weeks before the game and to those who are:

Be strong comrades, fortitude forever and as we say in our motto: Semper Sodales, fors et victores [ Always comrades, maybe occasionally victors! ]

PS: I really was in two minds about using this picture! But as i feel it caught the right balance between benevolent comrade, commissar Premier and cock, I used it anyway!

Nets – a comrade’s duty!

Comrades welcome!

On Thursday we were lucky enough to come together in fine socialist form and with the sweat of our great collective, practice at our finest of nets. Truly, the weather was for us and it did not rain, yet we were threatened many times. Those comrades that formed our group of five were, Ilyeva (oli), Cobra’mski (Tim G), Antonov (Tony D), Yuri (me) and new blood, Petre Brandonovski (Peter Brandon).

Just below is a little, innocent clip of Brandonovski bowling to Ilyeva. He said he hadn’t ever bowled but there was line and length and plenty of promise, comrades!

Not shown on this film is Brandonovski in bat. Very good eyes, finding balls in the darkness and squarely protecting against them. Very good, comrade. Your place in the middle orders is beckoning.

The Queens, Primrose Hill

Needless to say, we retired at half eight to The Queens in Primrose Hill and had a few choice ales. Talk was all about the season and the oncoming greatness of the SCC. We also got to meet Brandonovski’s patient and charming wife, Mrs. Brandonovski. The table was alive with cricket, chips and ale – is there a better table?

Newsletters and more to come, but Comrades…

Forget not the nets – They help knock the bails and stretch innings to winnings!

Nets – 2012 #1

Comrades of the SCC – It had to start sometime and so it has…  NETS!

Thursday 3rd May 2012

18:00 – 20:00

This Thursday, join us at the The Hub, Regent’s Park for two hours of net training and socialising and bloody good time-having. The price for the session will be split between all attendee comrades plus £1.00 so the more the merrier!

If you have bat, pads and gloves, do bring them, but we do have some club kit too. Or, nip down to Lillywhites and buy some there – cheap and cheerful! We shall have fun, whatever!

Very often there is a risk of a beer afterwards – apologies in advance, comrades. It is a risk of the game that socialising may be required. But we face these terrible occurrences as best we can.

See you there!

Yuri
