Nets, Shirts, Lash and a Giant Bird

Good morning Owl fans.

Just a quick round up of the latest news regarding the most loved cricket team in the entire I'anson.. ahem..

The good news is that the nets sessions have been very well attended and that something rare has occurred, we have actually covered the costs!

This is great news, although it is tempered by the fact we only have one session left! At least that means the season is drawing ever nearer..

It would be perfect to go out on a high with the sessions and so please attend if you can next Sunday, 830-10am at Frensham Heights, there may be some dirty Aldershot breakfast action after for those of you who are interested.

To that extent the news season brings us a new team and also some new shirts (so get your 2008 shirt framed and put it up in the bedroom to piss your other half off!) for us all to enjoy.

They will be higher quality than last year and are priced at a reasonable £20. There are also sleeveless pullovers with a maroon trim at £30 and old school wool / acrylic jumpers with a maroon and gold trim available for £25.

They will also come in a wide range of sizes, mainly to cater for Parky's weight fluctuations when he rejoins the army! I joke of course..

I will bring an order form to nets on Sunday so if you could bring money if you fancy a new shirt to mark the new era, we can get things ordered A-SAP.

Special WAGS versions are available too!

For those of you who can't make nets on Sunday but would like a shirt please feel free to give me a ring and we can sort something out.

I would also like to remind everyone that the pre season social is taking pace on Saturday March 28th and will start in the Mulberry at 730-8pm.. WAGS very welcome as ever!

I haven't booked a table for dinner anywhere so please eat before you come.

The season is fast approaching now and the nets have been a great success with both sides looking in decent nick with some new faces and old legends rejoining the ranks for what is sure to be a great season.

It really isn't long now with 5 Saturdays before the first game of the season and on that note I would like to share with you a dream I had last night, presumably fuelled by my excitement for the new season, in which I had made a half century (you have to like the fact even in my dreams it's not a swashbuckling double hundred!) and was feeling very comfortable, only for a giant prehistoric bird (not an Owl before you mention it!) to swoop down and knock my stumps all over the place.. I was then told by the umpire that these things happen and that it was just bad luck and I had to walk.. Ideal eh?!

Anyway.. Back to reality..

Up the Owls! Twit Twoo!
