Good afternoon gentlemen, I am delighted to say that the sun is out and more importantly there are no more cricket free Saturday's until late September!
It's time to dust off the old kit bag, identify, unstick and wash the crusty old soiled kit which is in the bottom of it and prepare for next week as it is our first game of the 2010 season!
Whilst this anticipation will stir some familiar feelings it should also be reminded that this season represents a brand new challenge for a number of players.
It has been some 7 years since Wrecclesham CC competed in I'anson Division II and despite being in superb form over the last 2 seasons, the Owls will need the right attitude and level of application to ensure they rise to the challenge.
The Owls have performed magnificently over this period and have set themsleves apart from the competition in recent seasons, remaining unbeaten in a remarkable 36 matches.
A major factor in this is the wonderful bond and team spirit present within the club (and to think modern day footballers complain about a drinking culture!) and maintaining this is going to be key if they wish to continue in the same vein.
This bond has been developed due to a general love of cricket and affection for the club as well as being able to call each other good mates off the field, playing the game in the right spirit (i.e. giving 100% and playing hard but first and foremost appreciating that we play to enjoy the game) and sharing experiences on and off the field. Steve's magnificence in the shower merely being one..
Another highly important aspect is a consistent team slection and player availability (Suril we will forget the 2 years you were in prison) which has been incredible in the past and can often make the difference to help maintain what has been created.
If they can keep all of these things going then it will be another exciting season and one that the mighty Wreccers can look forward to with plenty of excitement and certainly plenty of ambition.
Until next week gents.
Up the Owls
