For once following the previous weeks league game at Fairoak where 5 players turned up ( so we were short for a six a side !!!) a full compliment of 12 players became available. The following photos show what happened. Click on them if you want to see them in more detail.
8 Hursley plays take the field as they probably won the toss !
Martin "Turbo" Taylor does his standard monty python silly walk warm up routine before joining his fellow team mates down the hill.
Winchester's general, leader and organiser Rae Razor Lockyer fresh from his mid summer break in the sun considers his options as he appears to be over populated on the player front this week. Clearly an unusual predicament hence the puzzled face.
Sam "nuts" Walker , GNB , Pierre, Hugh and Ollie get changed and therefore get a game, Nigel bogey bungay sits quietly considering his number 3 slot without the legendary belch echoing into west Sussex.
Winchesters legendary scorer Mike Rose takes his pen and starts to complete the Hursley book!!!! Phil Peach Green much relieved at Winchester having a full compliment takes the Pen. Neither of them have all their own teeth and it shows!
Ben Walker gets winch off to a flying start with a double pirouette then an off drive ish.
Twelfth man arrives from the golf course several overs into the game and delivers his customary greeting.
2 wickets later following Turbo Traitor catching skid on the boundary and Nige's demise the Walker brothers bat together Sam facing completely the wrong direction. Whats that on top of the hill !!
The team and scorers look on as Simon twelfthers Straker holds the shirt he's destined not to wear for being late.
Ben having never been hit in the gonads previously receives 3 near misses before a direct hit from Turbo final has him crouching and pondering.
Strakes tries some magic habergee haberjaa to make his shirt fit or is he just scared of putting it on.
David Stick Greetham takes guard and considers despatching Ollie boyband Green out of the park.
Ben hobbles back to the pavillion after ensuring Winchester amass a reasonable total.
Stick moves to tee off smashing boyband for 3 sixes to various parts of cow corner.
Innings closes on 133 with twelfthers congratulating Ollie on his bowling to Stick.
Now there would have followed here pictures of the Hursley/ ex Winchester innings but unfortunately the reserve player for Winchester was too busy muttering about how he can drop catches as well as anyone out there on the field so there aren't any.
In summary first over nuts walker bags a wicket then Wheels and Paul Shazza Davies bumble along for a bit escaping a few difficult catches ( Vaughny !!) then when they've got over half way there,needing about 8 an over Shazza departs and Wheels completely saws off his new batting partner which brings Jimmy Taylor to join him at the crease where they proceed to dispatch the ball to lead Hursley to Victory with an over to spare. Wheels unbeaten on 60ish and the oldest bloke on the park as well.
Nuff said we lost but then you win some you lose some it means nothing on a rainy day as fruitbat of Carter the unstoppable sex machine once sang.
So what happened next well we all stood around doing the Len Ganley stance waiting for Roy Harrison to complete his speeches and present the trophies then some other photos were taken.
