Southgate Cricket Club Events

Hertford CC v Southgate CC

Geoff Blackmore writes…

The Hertgate Trophy was instigated in 1995 by then-President Bob Cole to mark this long-standing fixtures between the two clubs. In the 15 years the fixture has been played, we have won it nine times and lost it four, with two games abandoned without a ball being bowled.

After victories in 2008 and 2009 we are attempting to make it a hat-trick of wins on Monday 26 July, at their ground in Balls Park, Hertford, starting at 11.30am. All support, during the game and after in the bar, will be most welcome.

The Southgate team will be chosen from this 12

Geoff BLACKMORE (capt), Richard BISHOP-LAGGETT, Dan ASHLEY, Adrian CARR, Phil DUNNETT, Alvin DURGACHARAN, Shaun FLOOK, Ben HARTMAN, Rob JOHNSON, Faisal MIR, Adam VINSON, Jamie WILSON

Nets

You’re not going to get any better sitting around watching Holby City. It’s been proved by scientists. Club nets are held on Tuesday evenings from 6pm (not Wednesday as some idiot put in the last Bugle). Experts will be on hand to ensure you know which end of the bat to hold and other secrets that will enhance your game.

That’s all folks!
