We are the mushrooms.

So remember I mentioned the CI Cup? Well, we won. That’s right. Oh yes.

Writeups: here and here.

And yet more coverage in the Guernsey Press, where I somehow found my ugly mug (albeit in fortunately low-resolution) on both the front and back pages.

Awesome.

P.S. Fcking get in there!

Famous. Again.

Ahh, the pressures of being a cricketing supergod. Perhaps not.

But still, it’s always nice to get written up in the paper. ESPECIALLY when they get your name right. (Third time lucky.)

Matt on BBC website

OK, so it’s nothing major, but I got a small mention on the sport section of the BBC website, as part of its coverage of the Channel Islands Cup, in which I am playing, for PKF Wanderers.

The standard of cricket we play in Guernsey is very good and it’s right that the BBC monitor the CI Cup. Wanderers this year have an excellent chance of winning it, and it would be a fantastic achievement to do so. The semi-final last week was washed out, so we’ll try again this weekend. We’re strong favourites to win, which will most likely set up a final with arch-rivals (and Guernsey-based) Cobo who are unbeaten in all forms of cricket this season.

Fingers crossed eh?

The New Star Wars Kid: Sky Sports Cricket Kid

Captured this beauty whilst watching finals day of the Twenty20 cup at the Rose Bowl in Southampton. Kent vs Middlesex, and one particular lad in the crowd enjoying himself a lot. Top work from the wee man.

New Star Wars kid if ever I saw him.

The key to a horrific weekend

It actually took me a long time to think of a title to this post. There are many aspects to this post… positive, negative… the works. I’ll tell the story.

I’m famous. (And cultured?)

I’ve gone one better than BiKE magasine and got myself in the Guernsey Press and Star for my cricketing prowess. Go me.

New blog new blog new blog

My latest blog effort, in association with b5media has finally gone live - have a little christmas cookie at Six and Out. And gosh darnit if releasing a cricket blog on the first day of the new domestic season wasn’t just the best timing in the whole world (which went typically - it rained all morning). So yes please y’all, check me out, live on t’interweb.
