The official twitter account of Hackney Umpires Cricket Club. Don't bother with the unofficial one it's really crap.
All tweets are official club policy.
...but the group chat has sparked into life with outrage (and peaceful actions) at the idea far right protesters are planning to assemble in Hackney, Waltham Forest and elsewhere in London.
Am very proud of the team. Crap at being cricketers. Good at being humans.

The HUCC 2024 season has been a shambles. The sound of tumbleweed on the team WhatsApp group has been deafening each time I've tried to raise a team...

Valiant effort by the Umpires. Posted a low total of 113 with Simon and Prav starring. Manny and Simon took wickets and we got them 5 down but not to be. Anton in A&E with a split finger gets the Jim Grice bravery award
Hackney Umpires v Brixton Barbarians today
Last year we chased 220 in 35 overs to win ๐คฏ

What outrageous fortune awaits today? We have 8 maybe 9 players so any kind of win will be ๐คฏ get in touch if you're in South London and fancy it
If anyone in the vague region of kent fancies a game tomorrow, our spinner tried to go for a jog and his leg fell off.
You don't need to be a spinner, because he isn't. Just need to be less fucked than he is. No match fees and the skipper will buy you 10 beers
