Cricketers 6 - 4 Chelsmford

Picture from Stevie's phone camera, thanks

We had a great night up in Blackhill on Tuesday. The Cicketers are one of the League's best teams so we had the chance to pit ourselves against a team who will be in the top two at the end of the season.

There was EPL football being screened in the main bar so we had to play in the side room, but this turned out to be a good thing as they erected their full size professional standard oche. The lighting was flawless and the throw was absolutely perfect. If the other bars have made no changes to their boards from last season I can confiedntly say that this is the best throw in the league. Strangely I think they only use this set-up when the main bar can't be used. The stage must take some setting up I suppose.

On a night where Cricketers took a while to settle we took some good early points in the opening Team game and the Doubles games. This settled us, as no matter how positive you feel mentally there's always the chance of getting beaten soundly against the top three teams.

I predict a backlash from them next week. This will feel like 4 points lost to them and we'll need to be focussed.

That's Kris who used to be one of the bar staff. He may not be able to make many games now he works in Slaley.

By the way, WR and PMc were too reserved to have their pictures taken :o)
