Story from our friendlies
Skip was bowling to Coleman in a friendly game.
Coleman missed a superb outswinger, and Skip said
"Its red, round and weighs about 5 1/2 ounces."
Next ball Coleman hits Skip out of the ground for a 6 and replies,"Skip, you know what it looks like. Go ahead and find it!"
We are proud to offer the best cricket tea's in the county brought by the wounderful Jane. Come along and watch, drink or just eat - its all good clean fun.
