    Bexley U14
    Sidcup (think I played for every one of their 6 sides at some stage, but mostly Saturday 3rds and 4ths, Sunday 1sts and 2nds)
    HSBC Cash Services
    Wilmington

    Had a break of about 5 years. HSBC Cash Services was just friendlies and stopped playing for them at 22, started at wilmington 3 years ago, so far we've been promoted twice and relegated once.

    Also used to play for Samual Montague (the bank not the boys club) when I was a kid when they were short (so that's at least half the games in a season then) at what is now shooters hillians, my old man was the manager when it was still the bank's ground.

    Believe it or not we have a cricket team out here in Germany - obviously ex-pats but a mix of Pakistanis, Aussies, Kiwis, the odd South African, Indians, Brits and so on. Actually a decent standard, we have played and beat the Swiss champs a couple of times and a few touring league teams from the UK. It helps that until he left we had a Grade A Aussie league player who played in the same Grade team as Jason Gillespie, Darren Lehman and Craig White and a couple of other league players from the UK and NZ.

    Ah Cricket! A thread I contribute to seeing as my footbal career only stretched to a couple of curtailed seasons with Barclays Bank.
    Crown Woods School 1st XI Capt 1983
    London Schools 82/3
    Blackheath CC 1980-1997, captained various sides including Kent League 2nd XI in '89.
    I am No.81 in Blackheath's all time list of 1st XI Kent League players.
    Still a member and an Hon. Vice President.
    Gave up serious cricket when the family came along but hope to start again soon. Both my sons now play for junior Balckheath sides.
    Also played for Abbey Wood Teachers XI. Toured British military bases in West Germany with them in '87, '88 and '89.
    Have my own team Elsid Cricket Club. We have toured Somerset, Shropshire and Yorkshire.

    we also attempted football in the back garden. tho mum didn't partake in that one.

    i kicked a paving slap when my dad moved the ball away and jarred my ankle and it hurt to hop back inside. :-(

    i'd like to add that both attempts at 'sport' in the sausage back garden, i was about 8 years old.

    i'm pretty nifty at rounders!! (which is harder as bat is smaller!)

    Interesting read Chirps!

    I think I've told you before I know a few of the guys you mention and others mentioned elsewhere on the site particularly the earlier years!

    I knew Max Knight from a very young age as I used to play rugby with his old man, Mike, sadly no longer with us. I also played rugby with Simon Haw and Graham Vaughan (player no 25). Graham was on the same course as me at Thames Poly. I also know Chris Winter (player no 29).

    old colfeians cc for the past 10 years or so, although this season i'm switching to the roan lambethans 2nd xi as part of a deal between the two clubs - it's basically a development team for old colfeians youngsters breaking into adult cricket, with a few competent(ish) adults thrown in to help out/steal their glory. the old colfeians club captain is one of the players swapping, and i enjoy playing alongside him
