Anyone with small feet or a keen teenage son or daughter who would like a pair of very nearly new Slazenger cricket boots? They are size 8. Just has a Spring clean and found them, They were my sons when he was a colt and look like they have hardly been worn. Ideal back up pair. Anyway they are free to whoever wants them, would be criminal to throw them away. They will be available to pick up from The Long Pond Pub from 11am tomorrow Saturday 20th April. First come, first served. Just ask at the bar. I'll post when they are gone.
So the season starts in earnest for most this coming weekend ....what are your hopes and aspirations for the season?..as for me having emigrated to east Sussex I 'll be turning out for siddeley cc 2s in the lower reaches of the Sussex league along with a cameo here and there for catford and cyphers cc
However I will still be attending to errant behaviour in the Kent and Kent regional leagues ..be warned
Anyone playing, umpiring..making teas,etc enjoy your season and our beautiful game

Panel umpiring again, starting on 12th. Anyone misbehaves, I'll be sending a report form to you, Laurie!

Hopefully one of those cameos is against the venerable Colfeians 4th XI!
Our season starts on Saturday, which is a week earlier than most KCL/KRCL teams I think. We're up against @Addickted2TheReds and his Beckenham mob, and hopefully we're not anywhere near as useless as we were two years ago (in fact, I have my sneaking suspicions we won't be, as the side's definitely improved since).
The games that year saw 88-run and 140-run defeats: in the former, a Kent youth scored 115, and in the latter... Well, we were 50 all out - having been 11-6.
Are you therefore happy to drop down the order mate? Seeing as we have seven bowlers (meaning I probably won't turn my arm over unless we're out of ideas...)
Do any of you lot on here ever play at goddington park. It's walking distance from my house and I often watch a game over there. Just wondering if anyone on here plays there.

Nah, but I do occasionally umpire next door at Orpington CC.
Wishing an enjoyable season to all our CL cricketers, umpires, scorers and numerous volunteers that help behind the scenes. May it be a hot and long summer!

Boots still available. Collection can be anonymous, no questions asked. Someone must want them.
Can I just say that I’ve never been so cold playing cricket as: 1. Last Saturday - especially when dragging the covers on (twice) during hailstorms 2. The previous Sunday - when I wore every item of clothing I had when fielding. It’s lucky I wasn’t called on to bowl as I looked like the Michelin man. 3. Can’t remember the previous time. Forecast for next weekend doesn’t fill me with joy either. This isn’t the quaint English idyll I signed up for.
Bexley 1s game still on at the moment. Matt Cross and Calum MacLeod away on Scotland duty and Ollie Robinson and Adam Riley are not allowed to play because they are both in Kent's squad for the 4 day game - starting on Tuesday! But Adam Rouse is allowed to play for the Vine because he isn't.
If the rain does relent then some of you might be treated to the excellent sight of me trying to play cricket with a sprained ankle. On the plus side it means Paddy's getting a gun slip fielder for 30 overs (I intend to bowl my ten, off a sort of one-pace shuffle)
I hadn't realised that former Test cricketer Sean Ervine had turned pro golfer. Wel that's what he was doing 'til Minster CC had succeeded in enticing him out of retirement!

1st change is slightly better than the opener!
64-1 off 9.
Wicket for @Leuth
It was straight, so good I suppose... :-)
Their opener batted very well and we... We're not that good and such is life.
At least we got more than zero points lol
