[Gentlemen of Lewes @GoLCC_Lewes]

Gents@fall@from 105-3 to 119AO @FirleCC. That really is @ThatsSoVillage - thank heavens for tea!

[Gentlemen of Lewes @GoLCC_Lewes]

[Gentlemen of Lewes @GoLCC_Lewes]

Skipper @spshall wins the toss @GoLCC_Lewes in our return fixture against @lewespriorycc Ruins - after a fashion - and elects to bat. Back at Convent Field for the first time this season and - as ever - the pavilion’s locked …

[Gentlemen of Lewes @GoLCC_Lewes]

It’s match day for El Classico, @GoLCC_Lewes away to Rodmell at the Virginia Woolf Bowl. Who could forget last season’s match-winning five-fer from @AlexSoTango??? COYG! Why, we even made @WisdenCricket in 2021

[Gentlemen of Lewes @GoLCC_Lewes]

Scenes at the Gudges, Isfield, as David Tutton scores 112* with a #Tailender to seal a first ever victory for @golcc_lewes over the @Zambucans @TailendersPod

[Gentlemen of Lewes @GoLCC_Lewes]

Nearly 50 up

[Gentlemen of Lewes @GoLCC_Lewes]

It’s a glorious afternoon for the Gents first game@of the season, against our old friends and adversaries @Zambucans today - our first since appearing in @WisdenAlmanack 2021

[Gentlemen of Lewes @GoLCC_Lewes]

Have a look @FirleCC ...

[Gentlemen of Lewes @GoLCC_Lewes]

The biggest honour for a cricket team that plays on Sundays like the @GoLCC_Lewes? To be featured in the Chronicle of @WisdenAlmanack 2021 for our oldest fixture/newest format @thehundred. AND to be graced with a cartoon by cartoonist Nick Newman

[Gentlemen of Lewes @GoLCC_Lewes]

Morning @ECB_cricket - do you have definitive ruling on teas for 2021 season? Assuming a blanket ban, but we wdn’t want to be guided by the PM as in 2020 (no cricket because of teas and changing rooms - breakfast press conference), all fine with no hugging/tea from Whitty (5pm)

[Gentlemen of Lewes @GoLCC_Lewes]

Gents leave it to middle October to@win both our first (and last) game of the season, our third game against the Ruins. More to follow ...

[Gentlemen of Lewes @GoLCC_Lewes]

We’re still playing cricket! The third @GoLCC_Lewes vs @lewespriorycc Ruins on the STG all-weather. Ruins 100-5 of their first 15, Gents 125-4 the fabulous @McMcMenemy just clubbed a BEAUTIFUL six. It’s like a test match

[Gentlemen of Lewes @GoLCC_Lewes]

The @lewespriorycc / @GoLCC_Lewes Ruined Gentlemen restrict @EastDeanTigers to 115-AO with @AlexSoTango, @grahamcarlow and @chrisarran_art taking six wickets between them. Craig and Kevin about to start the RG reply

[Mayfield Cricket @MayfieldCricket]

In these desperate Financial times we need to adapt, overcome and have a diversity of thinking ... but hiring out your score box to live in is a new one ... Shenley Cricket Centre, Hertfordshire.
It’d be perfect to roll out of bed for a home game! https://t.co/1DzWD7QdZa
