I don't like cricket, oh no. I love it!

My 2013 debut for my cricket team, Ingleby Greenhow finally came Saturday against Craythorne.
We won!

What a game, it was a beautiful day for the most English of sports.
I can not think of anything more traditional, cricket on a summer's day, cricket tea folowed by a couple of beers after the game.

Fantastic!

My second outing was in the village cup at Great Ayton last week. I can't believe that I scored 20 runs! Not out!
I loved every minute, we all had to bowl 2 overs. Ok, we got beat, but what a brilliant night we all had!

The final test in the 'ashes' start today and to finish off a wonderful summer of cricket, England could win 4-0 , which has never been done before.
COME on England!!

Golf. A good walk spoiled?

This week was the Monthly meeting of our Golf Society, ' Battersby Putters'.

We played at Durham City course on a beautiful day , followed by a couple or 3 ! beers
and a meal.

Our Society has now been in existence 19 years and we are celebrating the 20th. anniversary in 2015.
Discussion has started in how we will mark this date, including a possible trip abroad to Bulgaria or hopefully Spain!

My very good friend Gordon Snowball, who is no longer with us, was the inspiration and reason for the Society and he would have been very proud to see the Society last as long as 20 years!

Tomorrow is my birthday and what did I ask for? A new golf club of course, a driver, the only problem now is , How do I use it?!
