Great to hear the TW singing the National Anthem totally in time with the music and not laughing at all whilst doing so!

From that game apparently...Addick Addict said:Ample revenge for TW over their conquerors yesterday, Dreux, with a 50 run victory. Batting first TW scored 141 with the Williams brothers each hitting 50s. Dreux went down fighting with every other ball in the first half of the innings either a six or a wicket. They eventually made 91 all out off 7.2 overs

Chris is a good player, as are the other lads, but when you say 'qualify' - well, I guess it's a just a competition for decent amateur cricketers.1 - Sponsored links:

Then that just makes a mockery of the teams winning local competitions to join this elite tournament who haven't played for the team during "qualification". I hope they go well in any case.mid_life_crisis said:

Tunbridge Wells, minus one or two players such as Marcus O'Riordan and Joe MacCaffrey lost in the final of the European Cricket League to the Spanish representatives. TW can have no argument really because they lost four games this week and all four were to the same side. Great experience for the players though and I have to say that the organisation and coverage is first class for what is an amateur event.3

My spies tell me that the Austrian Cricket Tigers are building a squad that will "piss this league" next time around!3

Bump - this morning at Old Colfeians nets we had the entertaining spectacle of @Leuth facing our new and youthful signing Rupert Staple, Kent League and Over 60s legend. Rupert’s two looseners were driven majestically through cover by Leuth. After that Rupert didn’t bowl a single ball of driveable length for the next half an hour.Addick Addict said:Played at The Mote yesterday v Kent Over 50s (who turned us over quite easily). Was very impressed by their opening bowler ("Rupe?" from Hayes CC) who opened the bowling for England Over 60s on their winter tour of Australia.
Rupert Staple - a legend in the Kent League for an age.4 -
A welcome bump of a great thread.2

It became clear he knew what he was doing when suddenly every single ball was homing in on my left hipAshBurton said:

A couple of other new signings - Liam Buttery, following a couple of years at TW and keeper for their European Cricket League team, has returned to Hayes and has been replaced by Kent 2s batsman/keeper Sam Smith (from Bromley). Judging from the social media comments the moves suited all parties which isn't always the case when these things happen.1

We did wonder where Sam would end up as Bromley just wasn't going right for him. He is a decent bat and he could do well in the TW middle order once the Williams boys have had their fun! Liam is also a decent keeper, and he might flourish higher up the order for Hayes.Addick Addict said:A couple of other new signings - Liam Buttery, following a couple of years at TW and keeper for their European Cricket League team, has returned to Hayes and has been replaced by Kent 2s batsman/keeper Sam Smith (from Bromley).

Hayes are starting to put together a decent side. Hopefully we will get to see you at a Bickley game.Pedro45 said:

I'm rather hoping that as BP already have a 1st team scorer I will get to watch the boy (he's in Singapore as I write this waiting for a connecting flight home) playing for the first time in a decade without having to do so. If not then I will volunteer to do so but, whatever happens, I look forward to catching up you then.Pedro45 said:

7th May our league starts , Canvey poxy Island away
Finished 4th last season and with the juggling of the leagues we (South Loughton 2nds) got promoted to the 8th Division I'm a stone heavier than when the season finished early for me with an injury (typical Charlton)
Our friendly's start this weekend but I'm sitting out trying to fully recover my poxy groin1
