Howdi doodi, all is well here is the sunny US of A!33 degrees today and still rising!!!lovely!i have a proposal to make!first of all i’ll explain where my idea originated from!!this weekend there is a big basketball tournament going on in the town!3 a side basketball and it is going to be a huge event!they play in the roads and the citizens come out and support!!i was wondering if our six a side tournament could be moved to a couple of the roads in Eastry!this way we could promote cricket and maybe recruit some more players!!street cricket has always been popular with the Eastry Young Ones!!many a time have the members been seen playing on the road of wheelwrights way or in the drive at kenton manor. the most popular form of the game seems to have faded out tho!!years ago when the Young Ones were even younger morning bus rides to school were a hassle!getting up early and walking the 50 metres to the end of the road to catch a bus!!well that became a thing of the past when the lumleys and friends and anyone else who wanted to join in(matty d)created street cricket!whereby we used a tennis ball and a well crafted bat (thanks must go to garth for his woodwork skills) and while waiting for the bus we proceeded to play street cricket at the bottom of swaynes way!many memories and many legends were formed!!it is for these reasons that i propose the six a side tournament is moved to the streets of eastry!not just for marketing and recruitment purposes but for the love of the game!!!!!
