Sedgley Park v Blackheath

Well that was a turn up for the books, the first dry sunny day in Manchester since records began. Early rumours that Sedge Tiger sneaked in late and left early to avoid us we’re proven untrue as he had actually fled the country. Still the local cricket club ladies turned up with the scoreboard and initially looked resplendent in their whites. I’m unsure how they managed it but they convinced the bar staff the the afore mentioned ST had set up a bar tab for them and it was gin only and boy did they use it. I did notice several taxi drivers refused to take them home after the game, last seen they were storming the Blackheath team coach, but the boys were scared by the hordes of northern women as they are all southern softies. I did see late last night that ST watched the game via the live stream so he avoided me and didn’t have to cover the bet but I’ll give him double or quits at our place, if he has any cash left to travel once he settles the ladies bar tab.

I watched the stream, it was a good game, with the Tigers taking a shock early lead and remaining in contention for much of the game, but Club stretching away in the second half.
