Gubbed

 OSCC, 117-9, lost to Sandridge, 121-2, by eight wickets



'Twas on the 21st of June

To Lilley we did roam

Some cunts had hired our ground out

So we could not play at home


Two of our players dropped out

We prayed it wasn't so

But one of them was Roger

So 'twas not a mighty blow


Bex and Gary saved us

They answered the late call

Though Gary looked uneasy

Far from the bathroom stall


The pessimists said, "Call it off!"

They said we had no chance

They said our odds were feeble

Just like Johnny's batting stance


It was the summer solstice

The day that never ends

Just like one of Jamie's overs

Due to all the wides he sends


The mercury hit thirty

It was really fucking hot

Just like dear old Bradders

When he threw a punch at Scott


Wardy was our captain

He'd never won a game

And when you're talking leadership

That's not a claim to fame


It goes without saying

That Wardy lost the toss

And soon we were out batting

On a wicket full of moss


The ball leapt round our shoulders

The ball crept past our shins

Stuck on a fucking minefield

For our unholy sins


Wardy missed a straight one

Goord was next to go

The umpire triggered Barker

Whose long walk off was slow


Wickets kept on falling

Things went all to shit

And when t'other Wardy chopped on

We feared that that was it


Bex top-scored with 20

It didn't looked enough

And though we batted 40 overs

Our prospects looked quite rough


Denton took a wicket

And Barker got one too

While Gary shook and shivered

And tried not to do a poo


They stormed right past our total

With half the game to spare

And watching Wardy walk off

You can tell he really cares


So that's another beating

On the Lilley Cabbage Patch

We'll try again next week

To see if Wardy wins a match


But right now at this minute

It's just another loss

And now the dust has settled

I couldn't give a fucking toss

High Five

 OSCC, 135-8, beat Harpenden, 134-9, by 2 wickets & OSCC, 205-2, beat Cople Argus, 135 all out, by 70 runs Offley's impressive start to the season continued as they made it five league wins out of five at the weekend with victories over Harpenden and Cople Argus respectively. Marc Ward won the toss and inserted a young Harpenden side, a decision that didn't look overly brilliant at one stage as opening bowler Mo Khalid missed the first ten overs of the contest and wasn't eligible to bowl until after the drinks break. Although this was rather unhelpful it did ensure that neither of the two men who live closest to the ground, Roger Piepenstock and Ian Peterson, bore the customary shame of being the last to arrive. Fortunately the match marked the first game of the season for ageless stalwart Steve Denton, a man who can still remember where he was when Kennedy was shot. Denton shared the new ball with the Sultan of Sialkot, Sensational Syed Shah, as Offley strove for early...

Taylor Swift To The Rescue As Offley Edge Home

  OSCC, 128-9, beat Kempston Hammers, 127 all out, by one wicket 24 hours after Syed Shah ran through London Colney like a dodgy kebab (kudos to the Kempston keeper for providing that one), Offley made it two from two in the Beds League as they staggered over the line at Kempston like Josh Scott finishing the London Marathon - coughing and spluttering but triumphant. Ben Wiles starred with bat and ball, Peter Gilkes carved the bowling to all parts with a match-turning innings, Matty Taylor dazzled in the field and Offley took the pitch with ten men before anyone realised they didn't have a wicketkeeper because Dan Goord hadn't arrived. The day began with Taylor answering a last-minute S.O.S. call.  Matty would be one of the first names on the sheet if he wanted to be but he prefers to play hard to get, a bit like a fat girl coquettishly pretending to turn down a third cheeseburger, sheltering behind the facade that he doesn't like cricket.  Like 10CC said, Matty doesn't...
