Middlesex v Essex

Sorry for the lack of updates recently. We've all been very busy.

For Middlelegless it was a strange event. Only one of our group was able to make the game so the responsibility to represent us at Lords fell to T and honorary member D.

T arrived at the ground early to join the queue to secure seats in the pavilion and was one of the first into the ground when it opened. With D not due until later, It was time for a few tins and the evening standard before the game began.

As lords filled up D arrived to join T and both were getting stuck into the first bottle as the first ball was bowled.

A fantastic 63 from McCullum lead the middle to 203-6 off 20 putting the middle in a very strong position. a fifer from Helm dismissed Essex for 131 giving the middle a much needed win.

Following the game, it was off to the lovely Crockers folly pub near the ground for a few lost more drinks to celebrate the much needed win for the middle. Much, much later it was into an Uber and home for T as D made his way home via the tube.

A top evening was had by all in attendance. The group meets again for the Middlesex Hampshire game next week (report to come).
