WE WON THE ASHES

Unbelievable, albeit with the helping hand of a South African, we have managed to hang on for the Draw and wrap up the series 2-1, for the first time in 20 odd years. Arise Sir Freddie! Bet Fletcher won't get a passport though!

Playing Again

Made my debut for the PwC Buccaneers today, and after only 9 of us got up for it am very tired. Played against PwC TS who had a full complement of 11, and were 1-0 up for about 60 minutes with a right backs to the wall performance. Played quite well, set up the winner with a Tugay volley from the corner that Matt Armitt managed to tuck away. Sadly defeated 3-1 in the end though as them dimwits worked out they could pass straight through us.

Ashes nicely set up for tomorrow after Freddie and Hoggy managed to undo all of the Aussies good work in a morning session straight from the gods. Bloody Warnie managed to remove Strauss, and despite the Aussies best good Humour, light (or lack of it prevailed) and England held steady for the rest of the day.

Sandridge Never Change

Headed along to Sandridge to watch the reserves play and my goodness was I pleased not to be involved in that mess. It was a terribly poor performance against a distinctly average side, relegation was meant to give us a bunch of easy games. Only highlight was Chris Wilding putting the Baldy defender on his backside. But as Chris W beat me to Player of the Year last year, I
have no time for him. Need to try to get to Thursday training though in order to get a game next weekend. I shouldn’t struggle to get a half I shouldn’t think. The first team won in the cup, 4-0, Chris Wickens bagging a hat-trick.
