PLEASE NOTE that this Sunday’s game with Valley End has been moved forward by half an hour to a one thirty kick-off. I would hate to speculate as to the reasons for fear of adding to my grumpy old man reputation. The fixtures page has been updated accordingly.

A fantastic game of cricket last Sunday at Old Suttonians saw the Badgers sneak home with seven balls to spare in a game animated by an almost perfectly timed declaration by home skipper Phil Smith. Full details can be found on the results page along with a summary match report and the pertinent elements from the scorecard.

I am disappointed, and somewhat disheartened, to have to report that tomorrow’s fixture with South Park Manor has been cancelled (at four o’clock on a Friday afternoon) because Darrell and I are apparently in the minority in preferring to be outside participating in sport rather than inside watching it. The only positive that I can draw from this is that it has prompted me to find a local side that play friendly cricket on Saturdays, and therefore I have managed to get myself a game for today.

Last Sunday’s trip to Tadworth started as grey and chilly as the day of the fiftieth anniversary game but finished warm and sunny. In between the Badgers took something of a pasting. Full details can be found on the results page along with a summary match report and the pertinent elements from the scorecard.

Futher to the comments last week regarding the footnote tooltips in the Leatherhead match report I have made a tweak to the CSS which greatly improves their appearance in all versions of IE that I’ve tested with. The blasted things still display differently, and in different locations on the page, in pretty much every browser but at least we now have a presentable end result for all of the major (and significant minor) players.
