A whole team of imports (accepting that a couple of these will be in Minster's 2nd X1):
1. Eddie Moore 2. James Hockley 3. Fabian Cowdrey 4. James Thompson 5. Kai Appelby 6. Julius Cowdrey 7. Sean Ervine 8. Greg Lamb 9. David Masters 10.Daniel Masters 11.Riki Ashwell
Good luck Sidcup and the other teams in Div 1. Those that aren't trying to stay up will be competing for the one available promotion place.
Still three months before the season begins so plenty of time to sign a few more!

With Piesley signed it's not just those in Div 1 that will be concerned about the standard of the opposition. It's also those in Div 2 of the 2nd X1 League because they won't be able to fit all these superstars in their first team.
It's somewhat bad luck that the likes of HSBC, Linden Park, Sidcup, St Lawrence and Upchurch are in the same Division for both Minster's top two sides!

I've just seen that they're in Div 2 2s! It is a very, very, very funny thought that the likes of @Leuth could conceivably in one week be playing at a higher level than, say, Riki Ashwell or whoever. No offence though mate.
Heard Shootershillians CC have disbanded , not played there for over ten years , think I read a few of the players had moved on on here . was formed Shooters Hill 2001 when a mixture of Metrogas and another side or two combined , can’t remember who . Some good people down there back in my day . Anyone know why, lack of interest , funds ?

Thought that might be the case. I think it was mentioned possibly on this thread that a few shoots were of to Downham & Bellingham? and I thought that would put them in deeper trouble numbers wise. If the colts fold as well, I hope Micky O finds some way to stay involved with the local game (if that is what he wants).

Yes, a load of them seem to be - at least four or five were at D&B nets when I was there a couple of weeks ago. Shoots were apparently always going to disband after a few pitch troubles and members drifting away. They were barely getting two sides out?
But it looks to have strengthened D&B's hand somewhat.
I bowled two accidental beamers at offspin pace and they took me out of the attack, the cheeky bastards. And now they have paid for it with their very existence!!

Tell me they got knocked for 6 or did the batsmen wear it
Some balls I bowled got knocked for 6 that day, I forget if they were the beamers. They had this great fat bully who scored an unbeaten ton. I was taken out of the attack with them on the verge of a ten-wicket win. Very insulting. I got to swear at them a lot as I stormed off though. I am the very model of sportsmanship and sensibility
So another one bites the dust - very sad to see. My club Erith CC went a few years back and Shoots won't be the last. Not really sure what can be done about it though. Just doesn't seem to be people willing to commit to playing regular local club sport.
Must admit that the numbers participating in cricket are falling in the UK and it's a great shame.
