……has started, so welcome back one and all!!
The blog meister (me) has just found his password (thankfully) and we are all systems go for the 2009 cricket season.
A new season brings about a new design to the blog, I hope it doesn’t/hasn’t confused many of you (not hard to do I hear you say)!? I think everything is pretty much where it used to be?!
I’m sure there have been lot’s of happening’s in the off season, some of them to be shared and maybe other’s not!! I would like to congratulate both Stanny and Rose for the safe arrival of Christopher, a son to take on your batting mantle hey Stanny, and also Grovey’s new addition to the family at the end of the last season!? Any other happening’s please mention in the comments….I guess Amateurs related news would also be good to hear of!? I haven’t heard from Wally and Wanda through the winter I do hope the cold snap suffered didn’t kill them off, any news on the metro polishing duo would be good to hear!!!
2 games have already taken place, the 3rds winning on Saturday and the 1st team friendly at Bakewell also bringing about a victory. The challenge is to keep that 100% record for the remainder of the season.
I shall leave this first post short as I don’t want to suffer burn out to soon in the year, which is also the same reason why I like to take my time with a cricket bat in my hand aswell early on in the season!!! 
I wish everyone a successful and happy season.
p.s. We will definitely have a Blog BBQ this season!!!!

Thanks for the congratulations!
It does, however, unfortunately mean that I can’t play for the first two or three weeks which is a bummer, but hey!
Should be an interesting season this year, and we’ve already seen the Thirds get off to a great start. The league rule changes will be interesting with only one team going up and three going down in Divs 3-6 (four go down from Div 7 because two new teams are coming in to Divs 3 and 7 and from next season there will be a Division 8). This will potentially be quite a problem for the Seconds, as originally The Langtons and another team whose name escapes me were relegated from Div 5; however Quorn II were subsequently relegated in place of The Langtons because they were found guilty of fielding an ineligible player – this means that a potentially stronger team was relegated, and with only one going up, it could well be even tougher for the Seconds…… only time will tell…..
Good luck everyone at the weekend.
Stanny
