Obama Bin President decided not to show the too horrific pictures of Phil’s bloodied face last week after he tried to take a bite out of the ball, but as compensation, he is hoping to get a bumper pay out from the tooth fairy. Unfortunately it was the only ball of the day to spit, much like Phil was doing copiously until ushered off the square. The rather macabre sight of people looking for his missing tooth on a length after the match was made all the more amusing had we known that A&E had found it wedged in the top of Phil’s mouth like a blown down tomb stone. Still, it allowed Veg and Dean to add 97 and coast the new Tri Nations 1XI to a 9 wicket victory.

Committee was it’s usual mix of highs and lows. Val is submitting more applications for grants for which only ‘Clubmark’ clubs like ourselves are eligible, the colts program continues to flourish and the facilities are fabulous. We could do with more support for the colts however as this vital area yields players now and in the future, generates money to reinvest, and increases our standing in the community and with the ECB. All support truly welcomed. Curry night was a great success with so many people cooking up a dish that even Prof had more than an ample sufficiency. As ever, we could have done with more support not least to stop Prof going back for thirds having already raided Josh and Liam’s plates for meat balls and mushrooms. Mind you Josh did lose his appetite when I told him his meat ball was a bull’s testicle.

Oh well, here’s hoping we can dump on Coleshill and Chalfont next week and improve on a disappointing haul of points this week.
