First Match (again)

Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng

So, first match (again) tonight and the weather is set fair and we’re at Hoglands Park against NATS who we last played in about 1998.  They played last week while we were pissing about  trying to find some fucking stumps so they won;t be as rusty as we will be.  How rusty will we be... rusty as fuck.  Our team is full of the regular suspects with all the kids having returned from University and Barry’s trial having finished early.  Talking of Barry, there is a question mark over his participation tonight as Tom Huxley has been rewarded for turning up to last weeks farce with a place tonight... if he actually confirms.  Assuming he doesn’t though, the Mighty Village will line up thus:

1 Colin Day – the Big Dog is even hungrier.  He’s not feeling the love from his Saturday team at the moment but we all love the Big Dog.

2 Tom Richards – Back from Uni where they play him as a bowler and a tail-end banger... not in this team.

3 Steve Paul – Just a legend, author of the best-selling ‘Great Forward Defensive Shots I have Played’

4 Sean Tongs - Stick Wielding, bells jingling, skipping, dancing, leg-glance ignoring Guru

5 Glen de la Cour - The heaviest wicket-keeper in the world, it’s the Skip

6 Phil Jewell – leader of the pace battery, whilst impersonating Danny de Vito

7 Luke Blackwell – Shagger, back from University

8 Jonjo Stovell – Shagless, back from University

9 Rob Saunders – Our overseas player from the Northern Republic of Wearside

10 Geoff Edwards – has postponed his inevitable retirement once again and is back.

11 The Cult of Barry

So, Hoglands Park for a 6.30 start.  Get there early to avoid the rush of spectators, tramps, addicts, alcoholics and worst of all, students.
