Alleyn and Honor Oak
Another Saturday and one would be forgiven to think that we left the worst of last week behind us in preparing for our game. It even started off well with the bowling machine set-up by 12 noon and most of the field preparation completed by 12:15. Even Stoned was presented with a cup of tea on arrival and the skipper was provided with a good bag of biltong by Mrs Hargan, known to most of the team as Mom and others as Kaye. It surely was going to be a good day. ..and then it started. Billy offered to step in as umpire for a bit, their skipper was unhappy for consistency reasons for Billy to stand at an end. Mom Hargan intervened, instructing Billy to umpire, immediately becoming the 2s heroine, and the game started under normal playing conditions.
