On a cold and windy Sunday lunchtime, the team gradually arrived ready for the next round of the Conroy Cup away at Cockfosters. We had put out a strong side for the occasion, blessed with a deep batting lineup and a good mix of bowling.
SCC march into the 2nd Round of the ECB National KO
Southgate took to the field at Hertford for our 1st round National KO Cup game with our strongest team of the season so far and keen to start picking up some wins before the League season gets underway. Earlier, Hertford had failed to provide a scorer (against the rules of the competition) and offered to concede the game and play a friendly, rather than play with 10. Luckily our skipper has mellowed with age, and wanted to play a fair competitive game - Hertford won the toss and we were in the field.
Conroy Cup vs Enfield
The boys showed up on a fresh Saturday morning to welcome visitors Enfield to the Walker. As Edrich stepped onto the field, he knew that the toss would dictate the morale of the side for the entire day, regardless of the result. Fortunately, fate looked kindly upon SCC and the boys would bat first in arctic conditions.
