Fancy a cricket game against The Dolphin?
I am getting a team together made up of Sydenham Town entusiasts/Dolphin customers to play The Dolphin at The Bridge in early July.
You do not need to be an expert at cricket - although it would help if you are reasonably athletic. The sides will be mixed (male and female) and I'm happy to say that I have already obtained the services of local marathon hero Juwlz. Sydenham Boy and Ken - you'll play won't you?
Just think of the respect you'll get from Dan and the other Australian staff after a game like this!
Any volunteers please let me know.
Cricket match versus The Dolphin!
As you'll see from the above posting from Juwlz, the entry point for players has been set at an incredibly low level! I'm now accepting anyone who can fulfil one of the following criteria:
a. Has heard of Freddy Flintoff.
b. Can walk from their home to Sydenham station unaided.
c. Can give us a credible explanation of what "those red girders" in The Dolphin garden are all about.
I've already got seven players plus a scorer and umpire of impecccable credentials.
Come on the rest of you! PM me if you are available first two weeks in July.

Eagle - It's going to take that long for me to do up my laces!
Well done SB - that brings us to eight and I've just been told by Dan, The Dolphin manager, that there's a Dartmouth Arms customer who wants to play (he's Australian and he lives in FH - still, I suppose we'd better let him into the side).
One or two of the team have asked me to arrange some nets (Juwlz - we aren't going fishing). I'll firm up a date for the match and a possible practice session in the next few days.

Excellent Simono! I think we've got a team!
I'm booking the Sydenham Sports Club ground (it's a really nice ground just off Kent House Lane, close to Clarkes Coaches Depot). You can walk there in ten minutes from The Dolphin. Talked to the groundsman last night down there.
Just waiting to confirm a date with Michael at The Dolphin.

Juwlz - we'll be expected to do a certain amount of sledging during this game, so bring along some warm winter clothing.
You’re on Kiwi in Sydenham – always glad to have someone who is willing to do down the Aussies!
OK – the game is on Monday 9th July at the Sydenham Cricket Club. Meet up at The Dolphin at 6pm (if a few of us bring cars we can transport both teams down to the ground in minutes). Sorry about the early start but the groundsman has warned me that unless we get underway before 6.30pm there just isn’t enough light to complete 15-20 overs per side.
To get to the ground, turn right at the traffic lights just downhill from The Dolphin and you’re in Kent House Road. 300 metres down that road, turn left at the mini-roundabout into Kent House Lane. After about 100 metres look out for a small lane on the right. The ground is about 50 metres down the lane. The club will provide a bar on the day.
When I return from holiday in two weeks, I will arrange a time for joint nets for both teams and let you have more details.
Can’t wait!! Come on Sydenham Town!!

OK - all you cricket players - The Sydenham Cricket ground in Kent House Lane is booked for Monday's game.
On Thursday I am hoping that as many of you as possible will come to a nets session at The Bridge - Kangley Bridge Road this Thursday evening between 6.45pm and 7.45pm. Meet at The Dolphin at 6.15.
I will be e mailing or PMing each of you to check your availability.
The Dolphin/Dartmouth Arms team are full of "well, we don't know whether we've got enough players" and "two of our star players (which ones?!) aren't available" - but my spies tell me they've had two training sessions in the last week.
Hope to see you on Thursday. Webmaster - will you be putting in an appearance?

Definitely a case of leg before wicket, I'd say.
Here is the team:

Hope I haven't left anyone out - please let me know if I have; there's still a chance for at least one person to take part, since Sydenhamevenyoungerboy is a very moveable part, if you see what I mean!
