The Jolly Boys Cricket Club

So here we are back at Warbreck for the last game of the season. And it seems like they've even got a nice new sign up since our last visit (either that or our memory really is fading fast - ed.)

And next to the pavillion there's a game of rounders in full swing. Maybe that's something to consider when we're too old for cricket but still too young for bowls ? (i.e. in about 15 minutes time -ed.)

And thanks to Ogs still being sidelined with his ankle injury this week we also have some fielding pictures !

Here we see Dave and the Warbreck opener trying to coax a stray bee away from the ball.

Dave was so keen to get into the field he even forgot his hat. Good job Shannon was on hand to bring it out to him.

As it's the last game of the season we thought we'd add an extra bonus feature so let's play spot the ball. The person whose cross is nearest the centre of the ball wins a signed Jollys athletic support.

(Oh good grief, you've put up the wrong picture you idiot - ed.)

Back at the wicket Warbreck are positively piling up the runs so their umpire takes the opportunity to have a quick tab.

So it comes towards the end of the Warbreck innings and they eventually leave the field with 146 runs on the score board and with only 4 wickets lost. We've got our work cut out again !

Once again Will opens the batting where he faces a well placed wide.

Meanwhile Jol and Powelly are on a mission to recover our brand new match ball which was unceremoniously hoisted into the nearby dyke.

Ad what's this ? For the second week running Dave has been promoted into the second opening spot and he's doing himself proud. One thing's for sure Tom and Will have both got competition.

back at the pavillion the Jollys have been herded into the Corall with the exception of Coker who has cunningly managed to clip out by the side entrance.

Out at the wicket Will has retired and Dave has been bowled for 9 so it's time for Stu to come in. Sadly though he only made a quick single before being given out LBW.

So on comes Coker who plays a splendid innings eventuallg going on to retire on 25.

And Coker was ably supported by Jol who put on 18 runs before being bowled by a cracker.

Out on the sidelines Dave has doscovered a treasure trove of abandoned clohing. Sadly none of the items are quite his size or colour though.

Botheration. With Jol having gone Powelly is at the crease but he doesn't least long before getting bowled.

At the other end Frosty has put his pads on and is soon playing some fine shots on his way to a quick 10.

And batting down at number 8 this week Dave only manages a quick sinlge before getting caught. Sadly there are no more pictures to show this week though as our last few wickets go for not many runs and, despite Will returning to the crease, Warbreck emerge worthy winners.

So it's all back to the old Town Hall where Des does us proud with an absolutely end of season-tastic feast !
