On Monday 31st May (Bank Holiday) WCC Jnr's challenged their Dad's to a "FUN" Cricket Match....needless to say all the Dad's were going to take it easy on the kids...because that's what Dad's do isn't it??
Well nothing could be further from the truth!!
The Dad's came onto the field like Gladiators...all in their neatly pressed flannels and designer sunglasses...ready to do battle with their offspring!
No ball was bowled softly, no shot was played with perhaps the hint of a catch...and the Dad's continued to throw their heart and soul into finishing off the kids!! Finishing on 91..(pairs cricket scoring used..5 runs lost for each wicket down)...a line of determined kids now sat around the boundary as one by one they met their Dad's on the pitch....all the kids played valiantly and not downhearted they joined in with the spirit of the game....from a minus score (from losing so many wickets initially) the kids slowly but surely started to get back into the game...finishing on a creditable 65!!
A rematch is on the cards...and we will be advertising for willing sacrifices (oops sorry) volunteers to join the kids and Dad's for the return....
WATCH THIS SPACE!!
