Barry warms up for the big game
The cricket season starts in the first week of May. Unfortunately, no one told that to whichever
God controls the rain who has basically been having a laugh for the past three
weeks and completely trashed everything.
But what of the Mighty Village.... Division 5 was ripped up
so badly by the Village last year, that there is no Division 5 any more. We’re now in Division 3 and tonight we’re
playing Ordnance Survey who we first played in 1994.
Yes, tonight we may actually play and the line up is as
follows...
1 Colin Day. Big Dog
– Colin is back and he’s hungry
2 Tom Richards. Tommy
49 – back from Uni and we’re expecting tales of shagging exploits with posh
girls from Chichester
3 Tom Huxley – Ronnie Ringer – no idea. I’m told he gives it some humpty.
4 Sean Tongs. The
Guru – bow down in his presence
5 Steve Paul. Spaul –
now complete with new knee enabling him to run and participate in fielding and
all that.
6 Glen de la Cour.
Skip – Bigger though not necessarily better than before with a new set
of injuries
7 Phil Jewell. Danny
de Vito – Hollywood legend continuing to slum it with the Mighty Village
8 Jonjo Stovell. Fox
Piss – couldn’t keep him away, though we did try
9 Rob Saunders. The
one Man Mackem Army and Defender of our Country – he’s been away fighting
Germans, Argentineans and Martians – but now he’s back.
10 Luke Walsh – Ronnie Ringer – again, I know nothing about
him other than Rob telling me that he's a 'bit of a tubby c*nt'
11 Barry Stovell - Harold Shipman - Seasick Steve
So, we’re off to Millbrook Rec where we haven’t played for
years... Will the rain hold off and will the wind be blowing the wrong way so
we get that lovely whiff of shitters that you always used to get down
there. I hope so as it will remind us
all of happier, less complicated times.
COME ON THE VILLAGE!!!
