Hells Angels v The Fossils

When Tynemouth were clearly too scared to come and face the Angels on our home ground in the tropical heat, our captain decided to involve the Angel blokes in a 'friendly' game instead.

The teams were mixed - with husbands and wives and dads and daughters batting together. A chance to witness some decent domestic strife! But no - it was GREAT FUN - not too many scraps at all!

Thank you to the 2 young umpires. (Sorry Matthew, but Aaron definitely won in the 'quickest draw' competition.) Thank you Dave for being Tishy's husband for a while, and thank you all for the lovely family tea afterwards.

Debbie - the photos are fantastic - thanks for capturing this lovely afternoon in pictures...

  1. It was a great afternoon and one that Mr A wants to do again asap. Glad I wasn't umpiring ... but when the husband gets you run out and son gives it out I guess you just have to accept - 'that's cricket'. Love the photos and the write up. Didn't love the Chomse hat-trick against us. Next time - Hells Angels will get their revenge ...

  2. Photo's are great, Mr T Senior especially likes the one that makes him look like a pro! Truth is he could hardly walk for 3 days. Mr T Junior has never had so much power - surprised he came home wth HIS egs intact!! Thanks everyone- hope we didn't embarass wore Jen too much!

    I watched you all play Stocksfield last night 6th July and I have to tell you that you all rekindled my interest in cricket. The team performance was outstanding and it was a nail biting finish despite losing by a few runs. Well done ladies and keep up the good entertaining cricket
