Always a winner.

My final game of the season for our hugely welcome pub-cricket residents at Stroud CC, "The Posties".

As usual we lost but it really ain't about winning, unless it's one of these beauties.

From left to right; the "Sticks Like Shit" trophy for the most dropped catches in a season; the "Teak Bat" for most runs scored; the pint pot for Player's Player; the duck cup (self-explanatory) and the most catches pot (again self-explanatory).

This is cricket at its daftest and most fun and it's been a pleasure to knock about with this lot for another season. Long may it continue.

Spent the end of the evening planning a Fringe Festival itinerary with Stroud's newest and lovliest resident. I'm hugely excited about it and this big smile is gonnae get bigger.
