A Fitting Finale....

Well it's a very long time since the Old Offie replaced Nick W at the Wigzell End following another typically mean and productive opening spell, and it seems to me that I just have to be there to take part in the finale of a legend.

So the whites will be dusted down and, if selected, I will be honoured to play.

I have no idea where it will go when I let go of it and so I am relying on my mates amongst the older players to assure the young guns that the Old Fella trying to land it on the cut bit used to be a reasonable bowler.

So unless the medical profession gets to hear of my plan I will be on duty on the 6th - there won't be a dry eye in the (Babington) House.

Last Match of the 2009 Season

Nick Wigzell preparing to bowl from the 'end' that will forever bare his name.

On Sunday 6th September we play our last match of the season against the Forest Irregulars and we have agreed to field a side including as many young players as possible. This is a lovely long-standing fixture against a bunch of guys committed to youth cricket and we need to play the game in an appropriate manner.

The match is especially significant as Nick Wigzell's is hanging up his well-worn Puma bowling boots after the game and the club owe him a huge debt of gratitude for his invaluable contribution over the past decade or so.

Please let me know who is available for this game and one is particularly keen to hear from the younger members.

Thanks as ever.....
