Finale to the 2007 season



"Do you want to bat or bowl first?" - the captain of Finchley's Sunday XI (he's on the left) takes the reins in Galway

Boys, we have nothing to fear but total and utter humiliation on Sunday.
However, Frank - the opposing Finchley skip (we only borrow him for tours) - has clearly already lost it.
Here he is talking to a horse in Galway.
Team for Sunday is: JP, Andy O, Rockie, Simon, Tim R, Jack, Chris, Dan, Jim, Ash and Brendan.
Please meet at the ground at midday for 1pm start. It's now September and you know how unpredictable I get when the nights are drawing in!
This is easily the best cricket wicket and pitch we'll have played on this summer, by the way.
There's an electronic scoreboard though it wasn't working the last time I batted for them (geddit?!)
Finchley CC's address is: East End Road, Arden Field, Finchley, N3 2TA.
(tel: 0208 346 1822).

Finchley has a very good bar and clubhouse which we really should patronise after the match.
There's also talk of an end-of-season curry somewhere.
