The seniors’ 20/21 cricket presentation night was held at the Ark on Sat 27 March in front of an appreciative audience of 35-40 people. Talla did a great job of running the evening, with support from Sampath and Alex. I think the majority of the trophy winners were in attendance, but my recollection of the evening may be a little hazy!! Hopefully next season we can see a few more players and a lot more partners. The evening was rounded out with a re-hash of Billy Joel’s, We Didn’t Start The Fire, titled We Didn’t Want To Hire.
