WORLD RECORD CHARITY 6S |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5 teams and numerous fans gathered at Regents Park
to raise money for CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably) and play some cricket. Obviously
raising money to try and tackle men's mental health (we all know the stats, many of us know all too
well the awful ramifications) was far more important so let's deal with that first. We raised over
£1,000 for this wonderful cause which we've decided is a world record. The charity 6s has
now raised over £4,000 for six different causes - something the club can be very proud of. |

Having written that last paragraph it seems churlish
to take about some sub standard cricket but that's why we gathered and it's good to record some
of the key moments of a day we all enjoyed. |

There were five teams, four teams included one or more
Superstars player and one didn't. Inevitably that fifth team, Mandarins won the tournament with 4 wins
from 4 wins. Coin Tossers and Bloods won 2 matches each, "Superstars" won one match and BEIS
and Superstars were involved in a thrilling tie for the "Williams Family Pride Trophy". |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A beer match was won by Coin Tossers (with Ellie and Gary guesting)
as i think the merged BEIS/Superstars had focussed less on the match element of the Beer Match. |

Notes. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Notable drop: Gary dropped the same, pretty easy
catch off his own bowling twice in two balls. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Notable good sportsmanship: Ben (BEIS team) managed to hit
one ball all day and fell flat on his face trying to take a single. Bloods sportingly let him take it. Bloods also withdraw
an LBW appeal (on the organiser, Dan, so that's probably wise) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Comedy Moment: The whole thing was excellent fun, and
again Dan should take a HUGE amount of credit. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Stat: A world record amount of cash raised by a charity 6s tournament involving
five teams with teams starting with M, C, B, S and B. Probably. |
