Looking Ahead: Walking Cricket Challenge
Whilst on furlough from his honorary ‘Fire Chief’ position Albert has been busy. He has been in touch with Barnsley u3a who have a trophy winning Walking Cricket interest group.
Albert writes: I have challenged Barnsley u3a Walking Cricket Team to a match, then realised we had not yet got a team!
They agreed and proceeded to tell me the ground rules:
You must use a lightweight bat, not your Gunn and Moore, or Kookaburra for example.
No backing up from the bowlers end.
Teams of 8 should contain 3 ladies whenever possible.
LBW will operate during every game.
Hucknall Walking Cricket Team has a fearsome reputation of hard hitting and demon fast/slow bowling. Hucknall u3a will follow their example and show them how it’s done!
And finally NO BITING, KICKING, SLEDGING or CHEATING.
Anyone Interested? Once we can, we will take on the mighty Barnsley.
