Week 3 was sooo traumatic that no body, not even Grant Murray treacle can bring themselves to write about it!
Indoor Cricket – Week 2
February 8, 2010 at 1:37 pm by TreacleMurraySeason 2010 continued with added fervour as Shorter returned to the team having rewritten the rule book just in time for the game to include the following rules; Its my party and I’ll cry if I want to, Its my ball and if I say you’re not playing you’re not playing, I’ve been playing here 5 years and frankly what I say goes, My Dads bigger than your Dad. Alternatively the official ruling is… “If a non GCC player is drafted in at the last minute but then appears on a winning side has to then automatically waive there place if a returning GCC player wants a game.” Total farce but totally fair enough at the same time – fixxxxxxxxx.

Indoor Cricket – Week 1
January 13, 2010 at 2:04 pm by TreacleMurrayWith Captain Scowl away on touring duty Treacle has taken up the slot of guest journalist for this weeks foray into the snow and icy stares of the indoor league.

Indoor Cricket – Week 5 – “Near Miss Collapse”
November 4, 2009 at 6:14 pm by GrahamWith kit bags securely locked this week, Goldsborough arrived determined to maintain their unbeaten record. A trendy metatarsal Robshaw football injury saw him on the sidelines – I think his big toe is also in a cast big enough to cover a childs forearm. Therefore one change was required to the side that kitted Pav’s 6 last week – with old Wilks off for a ding dong in Bangkok, young Wilks came in to provide a left arm spin option. Continue Reading…
