@markdjonesmedia@parkrunUK@ProstateUK Best wishes to Grandad John from John (80) and Ken (81) at Preston Grasshoppers.
I think we all had a drink together once.
Today I took lunch at the Pheasant in Allithwaite. 3 trains, 2 new stations and a pair of flashing eyes were involved.
Mistaken identity times 2. 2 testing walks and the climb of Jack Hill (think Col de Tourmalet.)
V. lively on Moor Pk. this a.m.
16 team cricket comp.
No pads, no helmets, no bails, no white coats.
No slow bowlers.
All overs bowled N to S.
Finishes around 9p.m.
Today was episode three of my travels with a professional cricketer series.
Who would have thought that the Darwen Women's Knitting Circle would provide assistance?
Many of us have sporting heroes,
One of mine is coming to the end of his career but had a big win today.
The final stage of the Giro was won by Mark Cavendish.
Some other 'good guys' played an important supporting role.
The train next to my back garden has not moved for over two hours.
Pretty miserable afternoon for anyone heading north.
Southbound two trains have managed to get through since 11:45.
Attended the seasonal finale of Django's on Haslam Park today.
Later I found the old cricket wicket.
Did anyone play on it?
I played on 4 different football pitches there but never cricket.
If you don't recall pitch 4, I have a painful story of St.Andrew's 3 Fishwick Rangers 7.
The game at Chorley had 3 phases.
The first was to dig a deep pit and jump into it
34 for 7.
The second was to build a ladder.
Batsmen3,9,10 and 11 saw to that
193 all out
The third was to climb the ladder.
5 bowlers took wickets and the sixth bowled 7 0vers for 8 runs.
