A second break through

For a change Sunday evening was the highlight of my week as at 21.00 I had a call from Mike Wilson asking if the OCs could put a team together to play in Cranleigh Prep school's pitch opening on the 17th April. Having only 6 weeks ago had the inaugural Roger Loveland vase match against the school to now have the chance to play in the match on the 17th is excellent. Thank you Mike for asking us to play. Mike is the new head of the prep school.

We are pitched against a Westcott XI which is likely to include a number of the 1984 and 88 Olympic medal winners - some of whom are even older than me...

This really is a great opportunity to further strengthen the links between the school and the club with Mike having played for the OCs for a number of seasons when at the senior school as a master. He has always been and clearly continues to be very loyal to the club and an advocate of the OC society as a whole.

On the pitch life line for the firsts, disappointemnt for the 2s and a couple of humdingers for the 3s and 4s. The 3s first half performance was outstanding and their loss was just a matter of lack of belief.

Vets and ladies had no games due to half term - ladies because they have a half term break for home duties and the Vets...perhaps the grandads have home duties too...

Knappy.
