St Boswells 1's v Holy Cross 1's

A very amiable game played largely in drizzle which had more than a hint of 'end of season' about it, resulting in a win for HX, thereby cementing our third position in Division 1.

Are you watching this Gary T?

Back in the clubhouse, the post match activities of wif-waf provided further entertainment as Bonnie Prince Charlie, not content with the earlier smoting of a member of the fairer sex for 6 to bring up his Fifty, decided to teach a one-legged gentleman a lesson or two about ping pong on a converted pool table.

Finally, the remaining seven Crossers took to the The Green at St Boswells once more to partake in a round of Boundary Golf, Bimbo declaring it to be "the best course in the league" as we set off, somewhat to the bemusement of the opposition skipper, Mr 'Boom Boom' Broom.

Allround sportsman Gary Trewartha had a fine run in the Division 2 event at the Edinburgh table tennis championships on Sunday...unfortunately in the final he met his match...

Indoor cricket.

Holy Cross have entered the inaugural ‘LiveSportOn.TV ESCA Indoor 6's’.

For some, the words cricket, indoor & league may summon up memories of this  (surely-alongside The Ascent of Man, The Singing Detective and Threads- the crowing glory of British television), in fact this competition involves something akin to cricket...

Now we just need a team…

Gary T and Cje play a proper athletic indoor sport but since the rest of you spending the winter evenings slumped in front of the XFactor, you could perhaps do with some exercise.

Can anyone interested please leave a comment to that effect-or email Jon.

We need a volunteer to organize the side…go ahead-seize the opportunity! …if might influence the selection committee currently engaged in the task of nailing down a captain for the 1sts for next season.

‘The competition will take the same format as the cricket Scotland tournament with 4 groups containing 3 teams in each.  The 3 teams in each group will attend on the same night and play round robin, each team will take part in 2 nights thus getting gets 4 games in total throughout the tournament.  Each of the 4 group winners would then attend the finals night for 2 Semi-Finals and a Final being held.
