It’s Not Cricket .. or Is It?!

I recently saw a FB post from one of my brother’s prep school friends saying they were playing in a celebration game of Walking Cricket at Lords.

Walking Cricket?  Must be great for batsmen that can hit 4’s and 6’s and a nightmare for fielders, who presumably have to speed walk to field the ball.

Anyway, Walking Cricket came to the outskirts of Ripon yesterday and my brother and wife had a go.  They enjoyed it.  However, the tutor from Barnsley said they should be careful if they ever played against Wakefield.  “If you fall over in a game there, one of their players comes up to you and measures you.  He’s an undertaker!”

Have any of you tried Walking Cricket?  Is there anywhere around here that does it, not that any of us will have time once the outdoor season starts.

Great to see lots of names up for the Green Prep morning of Friday 26th April.  The more the merrier.

Saturday Afternoon Winners

Well done to Scott – our youngest member – who won the Men’s Challenge Cup this afternoon. It was Scott’s first singles competition win. Runner up was Jonathan H, well known at his outdoor club Teddington in the summer months.

Meanwhile on Rink 4 Dave P and Mike C in their second final of the day faced each other in the Mixed Pairs with their respective partners, Ange and Tina.
Dave & Ange came out as winners in a hard fought match.

Thanks to Kevin for the photos.

A big thanks to caterers Brian C and Jacqui L who made us lovely fresh sandwiches for lunch. They did such a good job that Brian had to hurry off to shop for more supplies for tomorrow’s lunches. Brian’s daughter also had to return to her home kitchen to bake more delicious muffins.

Not a Middlesex Mixed Fours Win.

Sadly, Peter T, Ian, Di & Dawn didn’t get a win last night in the Middlesex Mixed Fours.  We had a good first few ends and it was 5-5 after 5.  Not quite sure what happened after that but the Century home team showed how they knew the green and the back end played some good shots when we were holding.  Peter T saved us with some amazing draw shots but we weren’t quite good enough on the night.

Good luck to Kath, Sue, Jason & Dave B in the next round.
