Bethersden, away, match won by Bethersden

The view, towards Ashford, the pavilion and scoreboard.

The skipper considers his options, batting-wise, and quickly realises the limitations of what he has to work with. AD records those limitations in the scorebook. 

Their pavilion has catering facilities, showers, an electric scoreboard, and was opened by Colin Cowdrey, opening bat and captain of Kent and England. Ours was opened by Sergeant Shultz, designed by the architects responsible for Stalag 13, and has two leaking urinals and a wc no-one dares to use.

Mr Naughtie's new umpires jacket. If we were good enough with needle and thread, we'd've changed the ACO to ASBO. Headline: No ton for Naughton as he gets a nought on the scorebook.

Headline: Ahh-shame. Rich holes out for a duck. Here he's about 1% of the way through donning his protective equipment. He makes Robocop look exposed when he's finished.

Neal prepares to flay himself in. One six bounced in the road, narrowly missed a bus, and went bouncing off into the estate. Sadly there wasn't any of that sound that reminds us of our boyhood, the crash and tinkle of shattered greenhouse glazing.
