Joe can just before we start, 2 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,720 are you on a are you, are you deliberately altering your 3 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:10,720 camera or is it zooming in on purpose? 4 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,120 Me. Yeah, I'm not. 5 00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:16,079 I haven't touched it. Fantastic. 6 00:00:17,240 --> 00:00:18,280 So what's it doing? Is it? 7 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:19,640 Is it? Is it following me around the 8 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:21,200 room? Yeah, have you got a new 9 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:22,960 computer? No. 10 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:26,440 Oh well, it's zooming zooming in on you. 11 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:28,840 No, I didn't do that. Not. 12 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:37,600 Now, oh, it hasn't just done it that. 13 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:38,200 Is weird. Oh. 14 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,760 Brilliant. I've never noticed that before. 15 00:00:43,920 --> 00:01:07,880 That is weird. Holden Holden send more house to 16 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:19,970 save the house. Welcome everyone and thanks for 17 00:01:19,970 --> 00:01:22,010 for listening to the House cast again. 18 00:01:22,010 --> 00:01:24,650 It's been a couple of months now since the end of the season and 19 00:01:24,650 --> 00:01:28,410 we've we've neglected doing some recordings, but I think we've 20 00:01:28,410 --> 00:01:32,360 got justification. I've been a touch busy. 21 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:37,400 Joe Martens had to get his nest ready to hibernate in for the 22 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,480 whole of the winter. As I've said earlier, me and 23 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,600 Dutch have been away with Nicky and Scott and Tony Woodworth, 24 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,520 which was a nice little trip. So we've managed to get it 25 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,760 together on it is 30th of October, so hopefully we'll get 26 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,120 this out before the end of the week. 27 00:01:52,640 --> 00:02:01,720 And there's there's myself and two of our very reliable host 28 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,560 on. And before I go through the ones 29 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,360 who have not turned up Joe Martin, how's it going since the 30 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,800 end of the season? Are you, are you managing all 31 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,720 right, so. Yeah, no, I'm fine, thank you. 32 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:17,480 It's been really busy and you know, busy at work and stuff but 33 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,200 yeah it's been OK Been down to the club a few times to see see 34 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,840 people and what not so. Good, good. 35 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,480 And will you you will have been involved in the So I want to 36 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:33,160 talk about the the work that Stan and Waddell and Roger do 37 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,640 around the square at the end of the season. 38 00:02:35,640 --> 00:02:38,520 We probably did it last year, but it don't it doesn't cause 39 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,760 any issues to talk about it again, I didn't go down at all. 40 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:48,320 But by all accounts from Stan, it was a fantastic effort. 41 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,360 How did it go that and is it looking good for for next 42 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,200 spring? It was a great effort by 43 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:59,920 everybody because the weather at the middle to end of September 44 00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:04,440 was terrible. So the week, I mean, if you 45 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,880 remember from last week, Jess, it was glorious. 46 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:08,720 Last year it was. Yeah. 47 00:03:08,920 --> 00:03:10,720 Yeah, we're bacon. We got burned. 48 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,440 Yeah. But this year it was the 49 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,480 complete opposite. So the week that I usually take 50 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:22,240 off ended up being two weeks that to take, to take off work 51 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:27,000 to try and get it done. But it was, it was a really 52 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,680 great effort by by the people that were that were there to 53 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,080 help. Can you name a few? 54 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,560 I think it's worse because it is donkey work you know. 55 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,800 I know Dutch has been down and helped. 56 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,040 Who's our other Co host tonight? Hiya, Dutch. 57 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,520 Hiya, Jess. I can't take any credit for 58 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,160 that. I've never done that end of 59 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,480 season. I thought you had. 60 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,160 No, not me. Right it is. 61 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:58,080 It's quite rewarding, certainly when the weather's good, when 62 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,520 you get, you know, Stan is in charge and Waddle and Roger is 63 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,920 is 2 ICS. I think it's worth giving a 64 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,160 shout out though, Joe, if you can remember all the people that 65 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:10,920 were there, because it is donkey work. 66 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,760 It takes a lot of a lot of effort. 67 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,640 Yeah. So obviously Stan, Stan was 68 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,680 there. Waddle and Roger and Stubbsy are 69 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,800 the, I would say main helpers on the ground. 70 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:31,240 Yeah, Dave Flanders was there to help as well. 71 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:36,280 He he used to be the groundsman at Barrowford and he comes on to 72 00:04:36,280 --> 00:04:40,600 watch and he's really, he's a really great chat, nice block. 73 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,720 So I think he played at Sapton as well and a few other places. 74 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,240 So not knows, knows a lot about cricket and he's and a good lad. 75 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,400 Dave Johnson, who cuts the grass, he was there helping as 76 00:04:55,400 --> 00:05:00,000 well. Paul Grace was there and and I 77 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,240 was, I was there on rushing duties. 78 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:05,640 Really. Well, I mean a big 79 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:10,600 congratulations to all those people that George mentioned and 80 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:19,400 I don't think we can over over estimate how much that time 81 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:23,040 spent contributes to the wikis being the way they've been over 82 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:28,200 the last probably a decade now. The amount of effort that's put 83 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,360 in does contribute to good cricket wickets, which 84 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,600 contributes to good players etcetera, etcetera. 85 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,240 So great work from everyone. I. 86 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:41,200 Think Jess is they've, they've done this the second year of the 87 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,960 of the outfield work as well. So, all right, yeah, it's. 88 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:53,920 Been standard spiked, scarified and and seeded again. 89 00:05:54,640 --> 00:06:00,160 So I think that's the second year of either three or six. 90 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,280 I'm not, I can't quite remember. It might be, it might be 6 years 91 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,160 that it's, that it's done with and that and that has a really 92 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:08,840 and that's had a really great effect as well. 93 00:06:08,840 --> 00:06:15,440 So we've been building the bonfire this week and it's you 94 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,040 can, you can, you can see the difference because it's still 95 00:06:18,280 --> 00:06:20,400 still pretty firm. It's obviously wet because it's, 96 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:26,760 it's poor for weeks, but the ground still looks all right 97 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:31,080 because there were times when we built the bonfire where it's 98 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:36,040 been nearly impossible to move the move the wood, but also kind 99 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,440 of move yourself because it's ankle high in mud. 100 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:44,840 But it it's it's, it's fine now. Yeah. 101 00:06:44,840 --> 00:06:47,600 And again, yeah, I was going to come on to that jaw. 102 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:53,200 The the work that goes into the bonfire pre and post is 103 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,720 outstanding. The amount of money that that we 104 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,760 can raise and the enjoyment that there is for the communities and 105 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:04,040 the families around the area, you know, can't be understated. 106 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:09,120 And a big thank you again to the people who do that and which 107 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,200 benefits the cricket, whether it's the juniors, the seniors, 108 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,720 you know, professionals, the improving the the ground in the 109 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,280 outfield. So a massive thank you to 110 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,760 everyone who's who's assisted with that. 111 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:27,040 And I can I see from Frank's emails and the social media 112 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:31,400 posts that the social events are continuing as well through the 113 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,640 winter. Is that summer Duche you'll be 114 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,160 having a look down at? I mean, I'm, I don't get down 115 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,720 myself a lot and maybe the odd football game, but it's 116 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,280 something you're going to have a look at, you think? 117 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,080 Yeah, I've got to a couple. Yeah, I've been to a couple of 118 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,480 quizzes in the past as well. The the great events are really 119 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,920 well run. It's just like, say, it's great 120 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,840 to see that the people turn up to the club in the winter. 121 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:58,720 It's it's great, really.

And then we have a Christmas 125 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,960 function, whether it's the players drink as we've always 126 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,840 referred to it, or Father Christmas or anything. 127 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:17,280 So please keep looking at the website, keeping up to date with 128 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,040 what's happening and and continue to support as we have 129 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,320 been. So back to the house cast. 130 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,280 We sent out messages over the last day or two and possibly a 131 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:31,720 week ago. Let's get something in in the in 132 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,960 the diary.

Gary Moore has got his his a lot 135 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,120 on this week, moving a few bits and butts around. 136 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,600 But I see Gav's not here. Does anyone we've not heard 137 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,360 anything. I've not had anything on the 138 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,200 WhatsApp group. Is he is he still around? 139 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,800 No, Thursday's not. I don't think he's got a stock 140 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,080 excuse for Thursday, has he? It's not one of his. 141 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:06,800 It's not one of his regular snooker shopping, dog walking 142 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,280 nights, is it? Thursday I. 143 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:10,760 Don't think so. I'm just looking back at some of 144 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,120 the messages. I think Wednesday's dog walking 145 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:17,920 Tuesday is where he goes snooker, he goes to snooker. 146 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:23,640 Thursday's shopping Monday is I've put it here as ironing, 147 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,720 ironing and and getting all this stuff together. 148 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,200 So I. Think I know it is Jess. 149 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,880 He's probably tired from building bonfire today. 150 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,880 Oh, has Gav been down now? Oh, credit, I didn't think Gav 151 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:38,760 had been into that. Has he been down? 152 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:39,560 Joe Martin? Well. 153 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,000 I didn't see him when I was there. 154 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,240 That's what you know, he might have been. 155 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,800 How long were you there? I was there from half 9 till 156 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,280 3:00 when everybody left. Right so and Gav wasn't there 157 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,360 between then, but he might have come down with his miners helmet 158 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,040 on and and done a little bit on his own. 159 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,880 Yeah, I wouldn't doubt it. Stand up, Gav. 160 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,560 I don't know. The club survives without him. 161 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,080 I love. Him. 162 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:08,800 No, he's a good lad.

Benjamin Bolton wiggling, having 168 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,360 some banter on the WhatsApp group with some more photographs 169 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:33,400 of him. But happy birthday, Gaz, and and 170 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,640 we'll get you.

I don't, I don't think I can. 174 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:49,080 I think I met him through play football against him or play 175 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:53,120 doing something before it came to lower eyes because because as 176 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,520 we all know, he's he went down as a junior down to Burnley to 177 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,240 play a little bit. And then I don't know if he got 178 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:03,480 kicked out or he left or his dad forced him to come down to the 179 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,600 house. But no, I can't really remember 180 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,160 because grammar schoolboy as well. 181 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,960 So us Ted's lad. It was always a little bit 182 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,320 Burnley, Belvedere and grammar school, all boys. 183 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,480 But when he came down, I remember him coming down and 184 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:23,240 throwing his, his heart and soul into the club cricket wise and 185 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,840 was an absolute, you know, godsend for us at that time. 186 00:11:27,680 --> 00:11:31,120 A lot, yeah, a lot of the older players had had moved on. 187 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,040 You know, I'm talking Lofty, Tom Sullivan, Rusty, these sort of 188 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,720 people. And then Gary coming in as a as 189 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,640 a little bit younger than me, but older than the Rugrats, the 190 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:44,320 12 Rugrats that we've got who seem to be multiplying. 191 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,560 So he was a godsend. And I genuinely believe he was 192 00:11:47,560 --> 00:11:50,320 part of the history. The the part of the turned it 193 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:54,480 around quite a bit was Gary. So and why are you going to? 194 00:11:54,680 --> 00:11:57,200 Are you going to prompt me as to when I first met him or not? 195 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,360 No. I thought you're going to come 196 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,000 out with some video footage or something. 197 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:09,720 Awesome. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 198 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:11,280 There was. There wouldn't have been any 199 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:16,760 photographs, but, but no, it's so happy birthday, Gary, between 200 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:18,200 us. So the three of us on obviously 201 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:22,040 Dutch and Joe Martin, we're going to preview, preview the 202 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:26,440 season, have a look at how it's ended and and what's happened 203 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:30,080 since then. The presentation night was I 204 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,760 think a week last Friday at Rochdale Cricket Club. 205 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,480 I couldn't make it, but I've. Were you there, dude? 206 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,720 No, no, but you were there, Joe, weren't you? 207 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,840 Joe Martin? Yeah, Apparently a really 208 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:47,200 successful event and. Well, yeah, a good speaker there 209 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,280 is. Jeff Miller, I think, I think 210 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,000 he's spoken at the club before. I think he did a sportsman's 211 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,800 game and he was very good. He was very good then and he 212 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:02,480 was, he was, he was brilliant, really, really funny and and 213 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:06,400 told some stories from his, from his playing days. 214 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:12,480 I think they are typically quite disparaging of himself really of 215 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:16,800 how good he was as a cricketer, which I think makes it funny 216 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,160 because obviously it was obviously a very, very good 217 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,960 cricketer. You know, it was, it was good. 218 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,080 It was really good to have a have a, have a speaker on. 219 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:31,280 And I think it's sort of even even better than it than it than 220 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,160 it was so. Yeah, and I know I'll get 221 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,880 bollocks off Dutch or maybe Gav separately, but a bit of a shout 222 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:39,400 out to the local organised all that. 223 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,880 I'll add Greg Tatasaw from Norden who pulled it together. 224 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,080 You know, it's been on its backside for the last couple of 225 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,640 years. People not attend and it's so 226 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:51,480 difficult with so many different clubs, vast majority who don't 227 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,400 like each other. I don't really want to be there 228 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:58,640 but are almost pressurised stroke forced into buying 229 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,920 tickets from clubs. So Greg did a great job in 230 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,480 pulling it all together and hopefully that will continue, 231 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:07,160 you know, over the next few years. 232 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,240 But I'm, I'm just really why I'm just going backwards with it, to 233 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:14,000 be honest, Joe. So we collected the, you know, a 234 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,640 lot of awards. You got the most victims as a 235 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:20,320 wicket keeper. Ben got, you know, the, the most 236 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,120 runs. And obviously we won the, the 237 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:24,840 league. So that was presented and Tom 238 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:30,240 Walker got presented with. Was it the most wickets for the? 239 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:35,240 I think it was the under 20. 20 threes, yeah, yeah, most. 240 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,480 And we also won the second seconds, won their league as 241 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,560 well that that was presented. Absolutely, Yeah. 242 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:44,120 So that's a great, you know, going back in our history, even 243 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,560 though the last two, two decades when we have been successful 244 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:52,280 last summer achievement and it's cap off to to the players in the 245 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:56,120 backroom staff that have managed to get to that point of of 246 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,840 collecting all that silverware. I want to rewind a little bit 247 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,520 further now towards the the back end of the season. 248 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:08,680 We've not recorded since then, Joe, a little bit of anticlimax 249 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:12,440 because the weather turned poor. You'd already won the league. 250 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,640 Was it I know you're a tight knit club and the way you 251 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,400 celebrated winning the league was was amazing. 252 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,440 Was it a bit of an anticlimax the last couple of weeks? 253 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,880 Good question. I think it certainly had a 254 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,840 slightly different, different feel to it than the previous 255 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:36,560 weeks given, given that you'd achieved everything that you'd 256 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,360 set out to at the start of the season. 257 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:43,560 I think it was a good opportunity for some of the 258 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:50,400 players in the team that probably haven't battered as 259 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,800 high or bowled as much to have A to have a good chance as well. 260 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:58,000 And and they really and they really stepped up when they were 261 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,280 given the opportunity again, just to show the kind of 262 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:04,200 strength in depth that the that the team had this year. 263 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:10,760 So I think probably slight a little bit less intense than it 264 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:15,760 than it has been because pressure was off because we 265 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,520 would won the league. But we but we did still set 266 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:22,680 ourselves some some goals in that we didn't want to lose a 267 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:30,280 game and you know, to to the end of the season because I think 268 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,720 even though we won it with four games to spare or three games to 269 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:36,200 spare, I can't quite remember. You could. 270 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,480 We didn't think it would look great if you if we lost like 3, 271 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,960 like another three games. You win the win the league with, 272 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,600 you know, 5 losses or or six losses. 273 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,920 So we wanted to make sure that was the case. 274 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,400 We wanted to win by as many points as possible as well. 275 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:57,000 We knew that there was a, a, a bit of a sort of record there to 276 00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:02,880 be to be got at which which we did, which we did as well in, in 277 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:07,960 terms of, you know, kind of whilst it's been 12 points for a 278 00:17:08,079 --> 00:17:11,520 10 points for a win and, and, and two bonus points. 279 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:16,480 So yeah, there was still some things that we all sort of 280 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:21,000 wanted to, to achieve. So and, and we did that. 281 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:25,839 So it capped off a what was already a fantastic season to 282 00:17:25,839 --> 00:17:29,200 kind of show that we did it all the way through. 283 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:35,040 And I think to show that you are as dedicated, you know, to the 284 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,720 end of the season, you know, looking back at when I used to 285 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:41,160 play, I can't speak for dude, but you know, we would have 286 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:42,880 switched off. There's no two ways about it. 287 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:47,840 But you have got that that mindset as a team, as a unit, as 288 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:53,440 a squad that will carry on. And almost destroy people. 289 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,240 You know, you've noticed, you know, you, you're very sociable, 290 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:57,760 you're very good with the opposition. 291 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,680 You're very good at the way you play cricket with a smile on 292 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:01,920 your face. But you're ruthless. 293 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:06,360 You know, to finish 62 points ahead is, is a massive 294 00:18:06,360 --> 00:18:08,720 achievement. And it's difficult to quantify 295 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:13,200 going back decades with different rules and different 296 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:17,920 structures and and what's happened, forgetting different 297 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,320 standards of professionals or amateurs or anything else. 298 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,440 But I think Ben, I read something, I don't know if it's 299 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:29,200 Facebook or somewhere that Ben made a, a statement with regard. 300 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,400 The players who've played this year need to look at themselves 301 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:36,360 and be really proud that this will go down in history, whether 302 00:18:36,360 --> 00:18:41,800 it's in two years or or 20 years as a significant season in a 303 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:48,920 strong league to win by such a margin is, is a is is a massive 304 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,120 achievement. And and again, you know, self 305 00:18:52,120 --> 00:18:55,960 prayers and blowing smoke up our backsides is not something we 306 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,280 really want to do, but we have to forget how hard you all 307 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,240 worked to achieve what you've achieved right to the end of 308 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:03,680 season. So, you know, big 309 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:08,320 congratulations to you, Joe and the rest of the the players and 310 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,920 the backroom staff, you know, from the house cast team. 311 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:12,680 It was and it was a pleasure to watch it. 312 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,280 Dude. I mean, you've been involved 313 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:20,240 internally more than I have. Have you have you seen that 314 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:24,120 determination and and they've clearly got the rewards for it, 315 00:19:24,120 --> 00:19:27,520 62 points. You know, it's almost, you know, 316 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:32,080 four or five games that they've that they've got in front of 317 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,280 Tard and Wolsden and Clitheroe who's finished there. 318 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,000 Have you seen that come in or is it something that surprised you 319 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,760 a little bit it? Certainly surprised me with how 320 00:19:41,120 --> 00:19:43,640 how much deal out they put between themselves and the rest 321 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,160 of the the rest of the clubs. I think we all said at the start 322 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,880 of the season that we that we fancied, we fancied us didn't 323 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,320 wear this year given the way that the season before had gone 324 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:59,120 and obviously Dan coming back and the squad looking very good. 325 00:19:59,120 --> 00:20:01,080 We did we did fancy ourselves this year. 326 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,160 But yeah, I didn't, I didn't see us winning it by by such a 327 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:08,040 margin. But just a point on the attitude 328 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,480 after they won the league. I don't know if I've told you 329 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:14,080 this before, but I'm actually in the first team WhatsApp group 330 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,760 and I'm only in it because of selection reasons. 331 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:20,240 You know, if Ben put something in there to say who's available, 332 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:24,480 who's not available, then it, it just helps me to to see it and 333 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,320 the, I think it was the week. It might have even been the 334 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,520 Monday or the Tuesday. No, it wasn't certainly wasn't 335 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:30,720 the Monday. It might be the Tuesday or the 336 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:32,240 Wednesday after they'd won the league. 337 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,840 Ben put a message in looking ahead to the next game already 338 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:41,480 saying, look, I'm setting you a challenge here to maintain your 339 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,040 standards for the next 3-4 weeks. 340 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,480 And that was after they'd had that massive celebration on the, 341 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,120 on the bank holiday Sunday night. 342 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,920 So he, he was straight on to him to make sure that that, you 343 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,760 know, even though the league was won, there was still games to be 344 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,560 played. And he and it was important to 345 00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,520 him that the, that the continued to do that. 346 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,720 So he set them the challenge and they went for it. 347 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:06,640 So I think that that bodes incredibly well for next year. 348 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,280 The fact that, you know, that hunger was still there even 349 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,000 after, even after they'd won the, they won the league. 350 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,280 Yeah. And that's something I was going 351 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,720 to come on to Dutch in the, you know, through the winter. 352 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:23,200 We know what and it can change very quickly, you know, injuries 353 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:28,720 or people, you know, potentially leaving or progressing. 354 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,080 You know, whether it's came to whether it's going pro and 355 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,600 elsewhere, things can change quickly, but I just can't see, 356 00:21:35,360 --> 00:21:38,360 you know, if we lost someone through injury or or or someone 357 00:21:38,360 --> 00:21:40,440 left. There is a nucleus there of 358 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:44,760 14/15/16 players that will continue this on. 359 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,760 So it is you know, I know the clubs listen to this and other 360 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:49,800 players. It's going to continue to 361 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,480 improve the standard and and people will chase us. 362 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:59,760 Let's just go the second team promoted the fixtures are out 363 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:04,200 from on from yesterday that on the website actually websites on 364 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,400 our website now if people want to go and have a look at it and 365 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,040 get it in your diary. It's always good to see that 366 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:14,520 it's on the it's on the horizon is the the spring to start the 367 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,840 season. The second team douche your 368 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,960 thoughts in that league? I'm not sure you know, it's a 369 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,520 big jump on all the First Division and the second division 370 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:27,160 in the senior league is big, but I'm not sure it's even a little 371 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,760 bit bigger in the in in the 2nd 11 league. 372 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,040 How do you think they'll call with that? 373 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,720 Is is Deck Stanley carrying on and? 374 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,120 Yeah, Deck's carrying on, Yeah, as he as he obviously should do. 375 00:22:38,120 --> 00:22:42,000 I think he'll be fine. I think I think you're right in 376 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,520 what you said. I think the gap in the between 377 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:48,600 the top second division, the top second teams in the top division 378 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,720 to the bottom of the second Division, I think that gap is 379 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,920 bigger than any other gap that we've got, you know, in, in 380 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:59,560 certainly in first team cricket. But obviously the, the second's 381 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,800 did incredibly well in that second division this year. 382 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,880 They put a staggering number of wins together and you know, them 383 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,400 and the the, the side who finished second put a put a gap 384 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,000 between the themselves and the rest. 385 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,040 So I think they'll take that forward. 386 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,640 They're obviously still a young team, but they'll be a year 387 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:21,640 older next year and I think they'll be fine next year. 388 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:25,280 I think they'll, they'll hold the road and and do relatively 389 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,840 well in that second division next year, in that top division 390 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,000 next year, sorry. Yeah, and they are. 391 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,400 I think it again, it's just what happens. 392 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,000 Not just the amateur club was in probably semi pros and even 393 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,720 counties. Once you've got that mindset of 394 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,360 a positive atmosphere, we're going to, we're always playing 395 00:23:43,360 --> 00:23:44,880 to win. We're going to play hard and 396 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:46,840 enjoy it. You know, the fact they've gone 397 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,640 all season and lost one game as a second team, you know they've 398 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,320 won the league by 41 points. Greenmount, like you said, 399 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:57,640 Douche 41 points behind them and then you know another 14 points 400 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,760 to the third Enfield who came third. 401 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:05,560 But again, we'll push and push and we'll get the lads on and 402 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:07,120 we'll encourage as much as we can. 403 00:24:07,120 --> 00:24:10,520 But it's down towards the spectators and and the backroom 404 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:14,400 to to encourage because they are a very young side to encourage 405 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:19,640 them and look at. So we've got a 141516 first team 406 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:24,400 squad which then develops into maybe a 30 first and second team 407 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,920 squads that that can push forward. 408 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:31,160 Joe Martin, have you, are you comfortable with what we've 409 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,760 talked about there with having that massive squad of senior 410 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,960 players, which they are? And if you are, what's going to 411 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,520 happen with anyone the 131415 year olds who are ready to push 412 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:46,840 into that senior squad? Well, yeah, I think if you I 413 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:50,080 think that if you've got lot, if you've got strength in depth, I 414 00:24:50,120 --> 00:24:54,320 think that I think that bodes well for the club in general. 415 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:59,120 I think competition places is is always really important and 416 00:24:59,120 --> 00:25:04,400 whilst difficult decisions have to be made, you, you make them 417 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:08,360 for the for the for the betterment of the of the club. 418 00:25:10,120 --> 00:25:15,320 I think for the younger, I think for the younger players that are 419 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,160 progressing really well, you know, some of those that are on 420 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:22,720 the APP and you know, moving into county squads and so on. 421 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:28,280 I think there are there are opportunities, there are 422 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:33,080 opportunities there to come in and and and show what you can do 423 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:38,000 and form really well. I think when I think when 424 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:43,400 they're playing in fourths and thirds, I would, you know, give 425 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:50,720 them a, a task score, set them a target to try and score as as 426 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:55,040 many runs as they can. You know, can when they get in 427 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:59,680 30s and 40s or 20s and 30s, can they change that into into 50s 428 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,120 and hundreds and the same for the, for the, for the bowling. 429 00:26:03,120 --> 00:26:07,520 Can they and they really put themselves in the in the shop 430 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:12,880 windows. So I think, I think if you've 431 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,400 got lots of, I think you've got lots of strength and lots of 432 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:21,400 players competing for positions, I think it creates a naturally 433 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:26,400 high performing club and group of players that are trying to 434 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:30,720 achieve same thing I think. And it does. 435 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:36,720 The positive nature of it, it's amazing how it will get you in 436 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:41,040 more sports, 10% advantage when you're positive and you're and 437 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,440 you're successful. But I think in club cricket 438 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:47,600 specifically when people are down at the club all week or 439 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:51,640 weekends enjoying their own success, but other people's 440 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,600 success, it's possibly adds 20% to your game. 441 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:59,360 And and that's proved more I think with a second team and 442 00:26:59,360 --> 00:27:02,120 some of the second team performances who two years 443 00:27:02,120 --> 00:27:05,600 previous after Matt had finished and they'd done well in that 444 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,880 First Division, they went almost to rock bottom. 445 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:10,680 But they've got that extra 20% now. 446 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:14,440 And that will continue I think as as you describe there, as you 447 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,560 know the junior section coming through etcetera. 448 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:26,360 The other thing on on, on that Jazz is that I think from from 449 00:27:26,360 --> 00:27:28,760 the coaching that we do with the young, with the young players, 450 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,720 you know, starting as as young as five and six in some cases. 451 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:38,560 We always look to try and get kind of the fundamentals in 452 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,240 their technique and and skills for cricket. 453 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:49,960 But I think over the past couple of years, I think large groups 454 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:55,240 of the coaches and, and the set up in general from the senior 455 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,640 cricket and into some of the junior cricket, I think the 456 00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:01,080 mindset we're trying to change a little bit. 457 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,800 So yes, they've got the fundamental, they've got the 458 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:09,080 fundamental skills, but can they be positive with the skills that 459 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:13,960 they have so that they can, you know, they can they can fit 460 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,800 nicely into into the first team and the way that the first team 461 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:22,080 play, you know, which is aggressive and very positive. 462 00:28:22,360 --> 00:28:26,480 So I think that I think that those two things kind of go hand 463 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:30,640 in hand and, and really pushing for that kind of positive, 464 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:34,560 positive way of playing and, and removing that fear of fear of 465 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,720 failure, I guess is can you express yourself and, and can 466 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:39,480 you do what you what you do well? 467 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,800 And even if they don't get, you know, if they don't make the 468 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,760 thirds or the second or the first team, he, he will not do 469 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,880 them any harm at all. You know, for wherever they 470 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,040 play, what standard or, or where they're going. 471 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:55,280 It's just he's enjoying cricket, but being positive that that's, 472 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,400 that's the big and that's what Downer's pushed and we've been 473 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,440 so lucky to have him. You know, again, because of the 474 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,440 work that's done of the backgrounds, whether it's a 475 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:07,160 bonfire, whether it's the draw, which we'll come on to, whether 476 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,960 it's this the the staff that work in the background, Matt 477 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:15,320 Stanley and all his team that it's these are what we've reaped 478 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:19,400 the rewards of over the last probably 25 years from Stan 479 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,480 starting it to the last two or three years of continuing. 480 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,600 We need some guests on to talk through the season, which we 481 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,880 will get over the next few months. 482 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:33,360 We've got a few special guests as well lined up that we've 483 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:34,760 approached and are going to come on. 484 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:41,520 We've nearly got an ex pro going back a few years, but we just 485 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,640 need to have a bit more negotiations as to how we're 486 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:51,760 going to get that sorted and possibly get him on an ex press 487 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,360 man. Is that the right word to call a 488 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:57,440 journalist? He's, he's going to come on and 489 00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,080 we're going to have some good banter with him. 490 00:29:59,920 --> 00:30:03,440 And then we will continue it through the, the winter, maybe 491 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,360 even getting some old guests on ex players that we've had on 492 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,920 previously come on and tell some more stories and have a good 493 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:15,560 laugh and a joke. And also the way that the, you 494 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:19,160 know, with the 2 standings when they came on for the fundraising 495 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,440 and Adam did that as well. And, and the more I've says 496 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,360 we're looking, you know, we can promote anything that we can 497 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,480 like that it does help. And if it helps one person, as 498 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,600 we've said a million times, and then we will push for it. 499 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:33,360 So if you've any ideas, give us a shout. 500 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:39,480 I know you're both so excited about guess the winner, but I 501 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:44,640 think we just need to to hold it back a little bit whilst we we 502 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:50,520 discuss anything around the the Christmas players social Dutch, 503 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,480 you know, if anything's been put together for that. 504 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,560 You've caught me on the hop a little bit there, Jazz. 505 00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:00,680 I don't. Think the date would be in yet? 506 00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:05,840 Yeah, I think Frank suggested a date, but there was some sort of 507 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:09,320 discussion about about the Burnley game, the Christmas 508 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,360 burly game, if that was going to impact it. 509 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:18,160 I think it's the 28th. I think, I think it's the 28th, 510 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:21,440 but let me confirm that next time we record. 511 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:25,840 Yeah, it will be on the socials. It's just for people who not 512 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:27,480 aware. It's something that's been going 513 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:32,920 on probably for now. I'm 45 years, Roger Bromley and 514 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:36,000 Alan Alden and people all set it going and we continue. 515 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,600 It's a different format now, but everyone's welcome. 516 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:43,200 It's named the Club. It's cards, Domino's, darts, a 517 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:47,640 couple of pints, sports on TV. It's a really good banter and 518 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,440 some good some good memories to be made. 519 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:54,760 So we will update on here and on the the website. 520 00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:01,280 I think it's worth just mentioning now about, you know, 521 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:05,920 the real sad news that we had a few weeks ago over a lifelong 522 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:12,360 spectator supporter, a friend, an all around good egg that 523 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,880 passed away in in Steve Parrington. 524 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:21,280 Steve died after a short stroke, medium illness that's taken him 525 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:26,200 out of the the limelight at the club for, you know, the last 12 526 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,240 months or so. But you know, a few memories 527 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,440 with Steve. I think it's worth just having a 528 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:36,600 little think ourselves between the three of us of what he was 529 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:41,200 like and and what a character and how much he loved lower 530 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:45,320 house Cricket Club. He'd come down every game, Homer 531 00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,120 away. He'd always have his rucksack 532 00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:51,800 with him and he'd chat to the players and and we'd all love to 533 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:55,320 to talk about him. He would call people Wasik if 534 00:32:55,320 --> 00:33:00,200 they weren't very sensible or he would come out with, he'd always 535 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:04,800 want to talk about the news or Lancashire Cricket Club which he 536 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:08,120 was a member of for a long time. So you know, Steve will be 537 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:12,520 sorely missed. I couldn't make a funeral, but I 538 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,000 think Dukes, you went there and there's a great turn out from 539 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:18,840 everyone and I think Steve would appreciate the send off that he 540 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,160 got. I'll never forget how many. 541 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:24,680 It was a sad time when it happened probably 25 years ago. 542 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,440 I was still doing the jobs that I was doing back then and and 543 00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,880 there was some suicide bomber somewhere that had happened and 544 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,960 Steve just came up and called me and said, Jess, what happened 545 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:38,000 with that was someone ticked off in his bloody heed and I'll 546 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:42,480 never forget it when he he would talk about different things in 547 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,200 the news. And so it's gone wrong in that 548 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:45,920 blocked. He's what a lovely man. 549 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,720 So Steve, you'll be watching us from from above. 550 00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:54,800 So, you know, great memories and you know, and thanks for 551 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:59,880 everything that that we've all we can all remember you by. 552 00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:04,840 So from that news, we'll move on to do anything you want to add 553 00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:08,199 about any memories around Steve or or Joe. 554 00:34:08,199 --> 00:34:10,960 I don't want to just hog the microphone. 555 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,280 Yeah, apart from him threatening to knock me out almost every 556 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,480 time I saw him.

Doesn't play there anymore. 813 00:52:56,440 --> 00:53:01,560 Does he still play? I heard a whisper that he had 814 00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:04,000 played a little bit last year.

I can send it with Blazers can't 817 00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:17,320 have, but I better not put it in the same envelope because a 818 00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:20,760 blazer will spend it about £50 to Leon. 819 00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:25,520 So thanks everyone for for your contributions and support in the 820 00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:30,120 draw. It really is a good it's a good 821 00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:33,400 earner for the club. We always pay out 60% in prize 822 00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:38,840 money and and 40% goes to the the junior section or to to Matt 823 00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:42,480 Stanley to do what he does. But it's a real good earner for 824 00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:43,720 us. It's been going for donkeys 825 00:53:43,720 --> 00:53:46,200 year. So thanks everyone for being 826 00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:48,120 involved. Dude. 827 00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:49,520 Is there anything else we need to add? 828 00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:53,560 It's been it's been an hour this we've managed on talking about 829 00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:56,280 the season. Anything you want to talk about 830 00:53:56,280 --> 00:54:01,320 before we close the episode? Just very quickly that Metcalf 831 00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:05,200 has told us that he he's leaving the club and he's signing for 832 00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:08,560 Parium, which is no massive surprise to us. 833 00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:11,440 Obviously we would have preferred him to stay at lower 834 00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:16,520 house but I don't think he was getting the opportunities in the 835 00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:19,040 first team and he probably couldn't see where when that was 836 00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:22,520 coming. So he's given us notice that 837 00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:25,240 he's going back to Paddy and with effect from the coming 838 00:54:25,240 --> 00:54:28,440 season. And I'm quite sure, you know, 839 00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:31,720 certainly from me and I'm sure you're the same dude. 840 00:54:31,720 --> 00:54:35,040 She, you know, with our blessing, you know, top lad, you 841 00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:38,200 know from a lovely family that he gets tonnes of runs in the 842 00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:40,520 settings, a quality, quality player. 843 00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:44,680 But it is that is one of the issues with having such a strong 844 00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:48,200 squad, someone at that age who wants to start playing first 845 00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:51,640 team cricket. I don't think any one of us can 846 00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:53,880 blame it, can blame him for doing that. 847 00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:56,560 And who knows? Joe Martin going forward, tonnes 848 00:54:56,560 --> 00:54:58,520 of runs in the Liberal, Rebels, their league and then 849 00:54:58,520 --> 00:55:01,000 opportunities arise. We'd welcome him back with open 850 00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:02,640 arms. I'm guessing you agree. 851 00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:07,560 Yeah, absolutely lovely family and that's a great a great lad 852 00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:10,080 as well. That's how you describe him on 853 00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:12,960 the on the draw. Yeah, yeah, great lad. 854 00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:16,840 So best of luck Deck. You know, you're always welcome 855 00:55:16,840 --> 00:55:20,280 coming back, watching whether it's on the Sundays or the 856 00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:23,600 Fridays would be good to to see you come back and watch and good 857 00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:28,360 luck for your, you know, your future cricket career at Padium 858 00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:30,720 again. I'm sure Dutch will keep us 859 00:55:30,720 --> 00:55:34,360 updated with any changes or moves or people that are coming 860 00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:36,960 to the club or leaving the club as the winter goes on. 861 00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:40,800 Joe Martin anything before we won the episode up. 862 00:55:41,560 --> 00:55:45,320 No, no, lovely to be back. So as there have been no other 863 00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:46,840 business thanks everyone for listening. 864 00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:50,960 Please support the club and and like the podcast and get on the 865 00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:55,440 website and support the lads as best you can over the winter and 866 00:55:55,440 --> 00:56:19,880 thanks everyone for listening. Gordon Gordon, send more house 867 00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:21,000 to save the house.
