CRICKET CLUB
SMELL
THAT CUT GRASS…
Out come the spikes, the banner, bongos and our followers (all two of
them). It’s time to dig out the kit from last season, maybe wash
it, and spend Sunday hangovers running around outdoors. Fresh from our
indoor award of Most Sporting Team (that can’t be right), we kick
off the season against the old enemy Milton Abbot (13th April –
Peverell Park). We’re prepared for snow, hail, sunburn – just
about anything except decent opposition, so let’s hope Abbot haven’t
any new players (just kidding, lads).
Competition
for places is fierce, but a rotation policy is usually forced upon us
(injuries are inevitable when grown men get drunk and try to bowl as if
they were teenagers), so come along.
PCC are great
hosts to us, with a big pavilion, bar and all the entertainment you want.
Even if you don’t make the first few games, come and cheer us on,
help put the banner up, join the band…or just sledge us from the
boundary.
Sunday fixtures
are below, but we also have plenty of midweek games.
