"HEADLINERS"
If 20-20 is a batters game then Rocky weren't there
when this statement was made.
Chasing Burnley's score of 196 for 6, Rawtenstall were
bowled out for 115 with only
Andrew & Nathan making any sort of a score 29 &
54 (83). So the rest of the batters
could only manage 32 between them and Afrus made 15,
Rawtenstall lost 5 wickets for 3 runs.
Let's concentrate on the League title !!
Weekend sees the Lads back on Sunday duty with a visit
from table rivals Accrington.
Accrington have been Rocky's Achilles Heel for some
time even when the Hyndburn Lads
were holding up the league.. Chris Cook-Martin going
strong on the back of his first league
century this season,Andy Payne constantly in the runs,Pro
& Kes taking the wickets and the middle
order contributing with runs and catches I don't think
they will roll us out for 48 again.
(Even with their secret
weapon, playing again this week,David Lloyd makes another appearance.)
To regain the top of the table points gap we need to
regroup and take the 12 points available,
denie Accy any points and push on from there,showing
what Rocky are capable of.
Perhaps Accy should enlist another of the town's famous
resident Mystic Meg, perhaps she
could see ways
of putting money in the coffers without reducing the
playing field to a circus.
Get your facts right David, His quote on Sky Sports
Flintoff isn't the only injury comeback of note this
week. I'm happy to report that I've come through my fitness test
and I'll be back in action for Accrington's top of the table clash
against Rawtenstall on Sunday. The hamstrings are sorted and I'm
fit and raring to go.
It's a good job too because I've just had a call from
Accrington captain Dibhendra Singh informing me that the Sneddonator
is exhausted after hitting 50 in their last match and can't make
it this week (I have a feeling it might have something to do with
the 20 pints of lager that he shifted after his efforts last time...)
Rawtenstall are top and we're
only one point behind, so it's a big game and I hope the
weather holds up so I can get back in the swing of things.
It'll be good to play again after a week spent watching
loads and loads of cricket. It's been much better than that effeminate
Wimbledon stuff that everyone is banging on about at the moment.
Tennis is certainly not my game and there's not much call for
that sort of thing around Accrington.
Having soaped, salted and dusted
it must be time to do the hair and as every girl knew "Friday
night is Amami night..."
With 4000 little pink plastic curlers and little bits of tissue
paper, look what you could do!
Come Friday night grown men could be seen walking to the pub,
crying their eyes out. Driven from their castles by their wives
and daughters pungent aroma of amonia.
