Bring On The Wall

The Stiffs hosted Caunton at the F of D. First the minor details: we lost. Caunton ran up over 200 despite good bowling once again from youngsters Ben Healey and Sam Nice. In reply we lost wickets too regularly to be in the hunt, and despite a good 20 odd from Liam, we fell well short.

Of more importance, Cowlard and Drurs were devastated to miss Alesandra's leggendaria festa italiana, with barbabietole e sorpresa arancione and pasta al tonno the expected highlights.

Of even more importance were the weekly antics of the clown prince of Keyworth Cricket.

Our hero had bowled 11 tight overs down the hill for just 16 runs, picking up a valuable wicket. Then, pulling up a little gingerly, Leggy's face suddenly turned a violent shade off of pink; "that's it, I can't go on Ted, I've hit the wall", shreiked The Boss, and with that staggered off to the deep with legs made of jelly.
