No more Rain... please.

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!!!
