Sadly, a good few years ago when we had a very competitive team winning the Lady Mary...

trophy and the like it got worse and worse. Amazing how people can be so placid and decent all week long but come Saturdays and they cross onto the field of play become utter idiots. It was the same with the cheating as well, the higher we got the more it seemed to happen to the extent quite a few people, I included didn't look forward to the games. Much prefer things now. Proper village Cricket - Play to win but lots of laughs, plenty of banter with the opposition and more than one eye on the village pub!! :D
