Venue: Was gonna be at home before the 3s nicked our ground and shifted us to the school ground
This match was eventually lost to the weather, after being re-arranged to play at a school’s ground, because it was deemed unfit to play the 3s fixture there.
So we were all set to take the one hour trip in the rain to see if the pitch was fit for a 4th XI game, even if it was below par for the 3s, when a Hampstead player sent us this video via the Hampstead captain:
Good enough, right? In the end, we decided, with the forecast being what it was, it wasn’t worth the risk of a two hour round trip only to sit for three hours and watch the ground get steadily more swamp like, so we agreed to cancel the game. Luckily, most of our competitors in the league also had similar results.
3 points and a day spent scoring for the 3s and watching them just lose a very close game of cricket against Hampstead.
