Your Finest Sporting Moment



Barrel of Fun

Something you did, not watched.

I would say my finest was an innings at number eleven. Worth Abbey had been skittled out for 93. It wasn't a quick surrender, they spent much of their innings, before tea, plodding along.

Lancing u15B found themselves at 72/9 and I was last in, with Bruce Scott, a carrot topped bowler with batting skills absent.

They had all eleven men within the 'circle', but most truly managed to plunder 24 runs to snatch a victory from defeat. Certainly my finest sporting moment, although there were some that came close.

All the other games had finished, so there were a good 200 hundred watching. Bruce and I ran off the pitch, stumps aloft, to be greeted by an almighty bundle.

The buzz of doing something like that in front of thousands must be a hard act to follow.

Aigburth CC v Liverpool Nalgo, 1990

HKFC 15.4 / 5 / 26 / 9

That was on the Saturday. I took 7-14 on the Sunday.

More wickets in a weekend than I've taken in many subsequent entire YEARS.

And football, it's all about penalties:

A half time pen at the Amex to win £500

A hat-trick, all of pens, in a Sunday cup semi final

The winning penalty to beat Palace, and lift the REMF trophy at the Dripping Pan.

Mine would also be cricket related. I took a hat trick in junior cricket but they were all catches in the outfield off my dibbley dobblies so that's not it. My actual proud moment was scoring 40 in a stand of 115 for the first wicket. I am a born number 7 or 8 (or lower) but opened for the seconds as a 'stop gap' when we suddenly had enough players for two Sunday sides. Lots of people get 50s but we have had very few century opening stands in our history.

Football wise, my finest moment was saving a late penalty to secure the title for Fields House.

I say saving, but the Dyke Fields were below sea level, so it hit a puddle and bounced in my direction.

I don't think I have ever taken a five wicket haul. Whenever I bowl, I take at least a wicket or two, but never beyond four. 4-3 are my best figures.

REMF cricket never took off. I wonder if we could arrange something?

Shot 3 under par at Royal Eastbourne Golf Club in a scratch medal to win by 2 shots a couple of years ago. Not bad for a 42 year old 5 handicapper:)

When I was at school I managed to score a bicycle kick from about 25 yards out in lunchtime. The ball clipped the bar as it went in.

Mine hasn't happened yet.

I'm still waiting for the NSCer in question to accept the challenge and take the penalties (which I will save).
