This is your Captain speaking

Let's face it, Saturday's just aren't the same in Winter are they?

Longing for it to be summer again so we can take the field as the Mighty Wrecclesham Owls again?

Fear not chaps, some winter respite is here, in the form of the Christmas lash up! (Cheer)

Saturday 13th of December is the date and the table is booked for 730pm at the Shepherd and Flock in Farnham.

Festivities will commence from 7pm onwards (this might be a good and brief time to catch Parky sober) and I am delighted to say that the vast majority of players who took part throughout the season are attending. There are also a number of WAGS coming too who have supported us so well throughout the season and so all bodes well for what should be a highly enjoyable evening.

There will be a the usual batting and bowling trophies handed out plus a few new awards for those who merit them.

There will also be another chance to see the much admired Bob Burchett trophy for all those players who still have to convince their other halves that we did actually win something!

There will also be the chance to pre order your 2009 Wreccers branded shirt for the new season and order any kit at discounted prices through a new sponsor!

In the meantime things are still going on behind the scenes to plan for next season and to that extent nets will be starting on Sunday 15th of February and as last season, will be from 9-10am at Frensham Heights School.

Nets will run for 6 weeks and will be charged at £3-4 per head depending on numbers.

As many of you are aware the Mighty Wreccers have officially formed a 2nd XI, who will play in the newly formed I'anson Div VI and as such are on the lookout for new players.

So if you have any mates or brothers who might fancy a game and a bit of a craic then get them down to nets where we'll promise to let Hammy bowl at them to build their confidence!

A quick mention for Dan 'Boris Johnson' Vasey who as we all know picked up a knee injury last year and has had surgeons from across the world considering his options in the meantime.

Despite a long wait for the operating table, Mr Thomas and his team carried out arguably one of the most exciting and breathtaking arthroscopy procedures ever to be performed in the UK.

Thankfully the surgery was a success and Vasey is making a full and fast recovery with his friends and family aiding him in every thing he needs, and will be fit for the curtain raiser of the new season in Division 3.

Dan's operation can be seen on Channel 5 on Saturday 6th of December, the programme imaginitively titled 'Through the keyhole' and will be hosted by Lloyd Grossman.. No wait.. I think I am getting confused.. Never mind!

In all seriousness new and former players are definitely welcome and who knows, maybe we'll have a 3rd XI this time next year!

Look forward to seeing you all on the 13th.
