SCC v VCC warm-up 20-20

SCC v VCC warm up 20/20

Well, comrades, It was well worth undertaking. The purpose of the match was to draw up to two teams from amongst ourselves (plus VCC supplement) to prepare for our first full match of the season. We trolled along to the Hampstead Heath extension fields near Golders Green and settled on the least sodden wicket. The rain had recently been falling and there had been some doubt, but for the 20/20 itself, the rain mostly held off.

Two teams were titled Karenina and Zhivago and were captained by Marx-B Blackledge and Tim Graham, Cobramski. I think we managed a total of 15 players and after a detailed yet nearly comprehendable set of rules were drawn up we were off. In the field first were Zhivago, myself included under Marx-Bs tutorship. Scores were, TBC

The end result was of course great fun but also, Team Karenina, under Cobramski (Tim Graham) won by TBC

There then followed a splendid drinking session at the local pub, The Old Bull and Bush!

Thank you Comrades!

VCC warm up 20/20 – WHEN?

Hello Comrades

VCC will be playing us on 26th June. It seems like a way off, there is much to do however, but in particular we shall need to arrange a 20/20 warm up match between our good selves. I am hoping that from the 30+ members we have, we can get 22 fine fellows along to Regent’s Park to have an evenings 20/20.

I need your feedback however. I need to know good dates and bad. I am suggesting a match on the 8th or 9th or 15th or 16th June. So what say you? Who can take it and who can’t? Even if some of you are injured, and i know of several, it will be good to employ some scoring and umpiring practice that Tim Graham will be organising soon (Thanks Tim!!)

Please let me know.

I will soon be posting some notes on how we select, based on founder members, payed up members and casuals. If you are wondering why you don’t know about payed-up’ness – it’s because i haven’t told you yet… will do soon!
