Just far enough away from LDC
I’m assuming B & H 1st’s were promoted back to Div 2 ?
They won div 3 east so believe that's straight promotion. Was a surprise that B&h had dropped from 2 last year but I believe they kept their squad together which will have helped them.

By coincidence, my Uber driver home this evening played for Rottingdean and was bemoaning their relegation. Interesting chat as we knew a few players in common - although he plays at a far higher level than I ever did.
Div 2 is an interesting standard. I was surprised at just how good it was. Prem players are county players on the fringe , ex county , overseas and players who could play county but have a decent main job. As a result div 2 has some fantastic talents inc players in the county set up such as @Fignon's Ponytail son. It's a tough one to think do you play those that got you there, go hell for leather for overseas or pre players on their way down.

My son is a way off that standard

Bit random but did your brother (or another relative) end up with a batting average of 95 this season? I follow a few cricket accounts on Twitter and a tweet from York CC just ended up on my 'for you' feed with a familiar name from school on.
Ha, yes. That’s my older brother Matt.

The first of those two tons, was his first since 1995! He’s had a great year, after admittedly dropping a couple levels, in order the skipper their 4ths and mentor his youngest lad, in his first year of senior cricket.

I think you may have another brother, initial D, who I bowled to in a match in 1990.

I was at our final game of the season in Mid-Sussex this weekend. But where was I ?

I guess this thread will be dead for the next few months, but my lad arrived in Tamworth NSW today after a marathon journey taking in 3 plane journeys, via Taiwan, after leaving home at 4pm on Monday! He got picked up from the airport at 7.30 this morning (our time) and was taken straight to the afternoon training session to meet the team!
He has a few days to settle in, and then his first game is Oct 1-4 for the Northern Central Zone Colts, over on the Gold Coast. Basically the same as being selected for the Academy over here apparently, so players from all over the region are in the squad.
