Steve B has been putting pen to paper, using his abacus and digging out his Logarithm tables from his schoolbooks. When he awoke from that nightmare, he realised that he could use his computer and 21st Century technology (without help from a virtual AI assistant) to produce the Friday Night League Table.

The result being …  ta-dah (stretch to enlarge)

With the first games being Friday 16th May, you’ll be able to get in a couple of weeks practice from this Saturday onwards.

Thanks for all the hard work, Steve!

Dave P & Attilio won their first round of the Senior Pairs yesterday and play again at lunchtime today.
Tina & Cathy also make their appearance today in the Ladies Senior Pairs.

Dave, Peter J & Gary have to wait another 24 hours before they start their triples challenge.
Good luck!

We hope you had a lovely day and that neither you nor your ice cream melted in the heat!

It’s getting closer with Marble Hill climbing up into second place to Kneller Gardens on the same number of points but slight shot difference

Thanks to Steve B for organising and producing the results

 

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.

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.
