'Hotshot' good omen on eve of season opener!


Pre-season training for senior Cincinnatians at Whitstable fete paid off handsomely yesterday.
The Skipper knocked spots off the opposition (mainly five and six-year-olds but also including the ex-Chairman) at the coconut shy by hitting this fine specimen from all of two yards.
The Skipper told Cincinnati News: "When the (fish and) chips are down, it's time to step up to the plate.
"This is an early warning to the opposition not to try any quick third runs this season when I've got the ball.
"Sadly, the ex-Chairman took 'coconut shy' literally and missed by a proverbial mile.
"The Vice-Skip refused to take up the challenge but far be it for me to point that out."
Warning: anyone who alters this caption to read 'Which One is the Coconut' will bat at 12 throughout the season (rockie, is that OK? I know it's your usual position).
