Default Cricket - A great first event. Well Done!

Thank you to all BE regulars who came to the event yesterday - Chris, Sam et al, Mike and others.

There were a few hiccups which we will learn from - ie don't trust a 'mate' to bring the bouncy castle as he's unlikely to show up - but on the whole it was a success.

It was well attended with around 70 people who were there for the whole event whilst there several more who came and went.

Thanks to Jerry, Debbie, Andy, Jackie, Andrew, Toby, John, Brent, Euro Supplies (not an ad JDR, I promise ), María José, Cristo, Brian, Villablanca council, Miguel, Carmelo, Enrique - if I've missed anyone, I apologise - without you all, the day would not have been a success

Here's to the next one in July??????

Oh......Brent's team (with a couple of Aussie ringers) won with a total of 151 for 4 to Jerry's 131 all out.

Thanks to everyone

But beer, BBQ and watching people make arses of themselvs is fun - the cricket was simply a by-product.

Anyway, a photo. This one is of cricket virgen Vicente Nieves who at his first ever time at the crease managed a creditable 45 runs!!!

Fun evening Fortalezza, just sorry we could not stay any longer. Well done.

It was good to put some faces to names at last.

Loved the spanish bowling??!!

Cheers

Hola Fortaleza!
Looks like you had good weather for the event, and a good time had by all. Will this be a regular event?
Regards,
Carol

Yes but not of this magnitude otherwise people will soon lose interest. Now we have more or less a nucleus of a team, there's nothing to stop us just going along to the pitch and have a game amongst ourselves every couple of weeks or so and if we want beers just put it in a cool box. The kind of party we organised Saturday we might look at doing as a monthly event but it's all in the air at the moment.
We would just like to practice to get a bit better so that we can then play other teams nearby.

Might do a rounders game next as some people on Saturday suggested they'd like to take part

Hi Rugby Mat,

Will post the outcome on my old thread, but thanks for asking.
