[nibbs]

[BoyBrumby]

I was in my school team (City of Ely College) that won the Cambridgeshire Under-12s Rugby 7s. I'm certain my mum would still have the paper cutting, next time I visit I'll ask.

Heady stuff, eh?

My Japanese rugby school Hagi High won the Chugoku (5 state) 10-a-side rugby championships in Horoshima last year, undefeated, it was good.

I was in a Adult cricket team and we won the Eastern Bay Of Plenty cricket comp 2 years in a row. (17-18)


When I was 15-16 I played rugby for my school and we won the Bay Of Plenty comp

I played in the Newton-Le-Willows under 17's team that beat Leigh in the final to win the HF Bullogh Trophy in 2004. I think the tournament is the Wigan cup...

I have been part of quite a few tournament winning sides in and around Delhi from late sixties to the early eighties but the finest was when we won the Senior Division League in Delhi in 1968. I was 18

We had three young players who went on to play lots of first class cricket with one of them Rakesh Shukla playing in one test match.

Little kids dig my South Africa shirt.. I managed to convince one guy I was actually Allan Donald.. I was even bowling quite quickly at the time, and I had blonde hair

 

[Pratters]

I played in a tournament of basketball having teams from Calcutta and Jadavpur university for my college.

We reached the semis. I did the cheering part and played a grand total of two minutes in the tournament. Was still proud to have the college jersey and play for my college.

 

[Langeveldt]

I won a badminton tournament which I captained our college side, and was unbeaten.. (Didn't get a shirt though)
Got a runners up trophy last year for cricket..

Closest I've managed
1997 & 1999 - Lincolnshire Cup [U12 and U14] - Semi Finals
2000 - Lincolnshire Cup [U15] - Quarter Final

In both 97 and 99, we were defeated away to QE Gainsborough, the second time around being embarrassingly skittled for 48 (despite a brave last wicket stand of 12), before QE knocked off the runs in 3.3 overs. In 2000, we fell one stage before the inevitable clubbing in Gainsborough, going down at Branston College after Pete stood on his own wickets....

Coaching Career
2003 - Signhills School U11 - winning Cleethorpes U11 kwik cricket league
2004 - Exeter CC U11 - second in East Devon U11 league

There's a joke there somewhere about a plastic surgery loving American.

What's the clubbing scene like in Gainsborough or was it whale-clubbing you went there for?

You don't fancy writing something on the minor cricket scene for us, do you?

Generally over mid-wicket, over the fence, and over the rugby posts in the next field.

 

[Tom Halsey]

My school is one of the best in Essex, and we're usually there or thereabouts in the school cup (cricket, this is) apart from last year, where we went out 2nd round, to an absolutely rubbish team, getting skittled for 60-odd I believe.

 

[superkingdave]

got to the final of the U-15 county cup (football) once - we lost 7-1 in the final.

at Uni we won our league in my first year, and last year we got promoted for my team up here, and we are currently about 7 points clear at the top this year.

etc

So you were bowling then.

Wow, is that anything like being the most humane Nazi?
