It was their very FIRST match of the season.
The Great Whittington men dug their whites out from the back of the drawer, strapped up their knees and ankles and prepared to take on the mighty...Corbridge Angels!
It was a fabulous game - enjoyed by all of us Angels but even more so by our challengers who thoroughly enjoyed the contest, and who (I think) were a little surprised at the standard of cricket played by their opponants!
In the end, despite putting up a great fight, we couldn't quite match the tactics employed by their evil captain, Eddie, who set his field with a load of slips, short legs and silly mid wickets to catch us all out!
It was great fun, and the GW guys are very keen to play us again next year. It'd be great if we could maybe make this an annual August Bank Holiday event. :-)
Some pics from the day...

Also, BIG thanks to Charlie who umpired brilliantly after 3 pints, Steve who umpired brilliantly despite enduring the pain of his new tattoo! and to Aaron the scorer!
