Cheers, I'll give them a ring. I've got today off and I'm itching to edge a few.

Went for a net last night and couldn’t get the bat on ball at all. Feel well out of nick. Nervous about tomorrow now.
Depending on the match situation it might be advantageous just to hit/block the ball before looking to play attacking shots

Closest game I’ve played in for many years. Looked dead and buried at one point. Great comeback from the bowlers but an all round enjoyable game to be part of
Checked the scorecard for the Simonside game yesterday. Noticed a Stuart Hood scored 36 . Would he be around the 50 yrs mark

He was probably around that age and he should definitely not have attempted that second run
Never looked like going out

Not sure of exact age but I think mid 40's. He played for Tudhoe through the youth set up thereChecked the scorecard for the Simonside game yesterday. Noticed a Stuart Hood scored 36 . Would he be around the 50 yrs mark

Played my first game in 5 weeks yesterday. We’ve had a couple rained off and another couple of weeks where I’ve been unavailable for whatever reason.
Managed my personal best score of 14, which I was absolutely over the moon with. I got bowled by their best bowler who was absolutely rapid and I had no idea how to play him.
In the field I took two catches. First one I took at gully off the third ball of their innings. The fella edged it and it came at me quick so I was delighted to hold onto it.
The second one was an absolute screamer. The ball was hit miles into the air but to a part of the field where there was no fielder. I had to sprint full pelt to get there as it was coming down and somehow I managed to slide and catch it. When I realised I’d held onto it I was in shock tbh. Was a great feeling having all the lads running over whooping and hollering.
We still lost by 6 wickets but it was a great day.

That sounds frighteningly similar to my game last weekPlayed my first game in 5 weeks yesterday. We’ve had a couple rained off and another couple of weeks where I’ve been unavailable for whatever reason.

24 runs yesterday. My highest total of the season so far. Wish I’d batted a bit further up the order.
I got out with two balls of the innings remaining trying to hoik one over extra cover but it ended up going straight into the air and the bowler took the catch.
We won by 41 runs though.
Only 4 games left. Can’t believe how quickly the season has gone.
