They think it's all over......it is now!

Some people are on the pitch...

What on Earth they were doing on the pitch Heaven only knows. Why, oh why do we pick superstars to play a team game? I could have picked a Championship England side that would have worked harder and gelled better, but what do I know...

So we are back to watching Wimbledon and supporting the cricket.

As for our pub side, the Dragons (made up of sports teachers from our local schools and me) we are in to the semi-finals again which I hope will be played this weekend. It's an 8-a-side tournament, with each side facing 12 eight-ball overs. You pair up and each pair gets three overs to face. the opposition each have to bowl at least once from a short run up while the batting side tries to hit 20 twenty style without getting out. 'Outs' cost you 8 runs, but since the team start on 200 its a bad side that finishes on 175..! In our last group match we only finished on 253 which is 50 runs short of a good total, but our fielding was superb and we bowled straight and true. As defending champions we are hoping for another great performance in the semi-final to give us a chance of back to back wins... It's a nice, friendly and quick way to play the game and technically it's for non-cricketers to have a bit of fun and a few old ringers like me to have a chance of the glory that alluded them during their playing career!!

Bees are doing fine, all you mockers out there who accused me of reginacide. Hope to harvest about 40lbs in the next couple of weeks. Bring it on! What a nice summer it is turning out to be.
