It was great to get back to Washington Park this Saturday. It was a bit disappointing to see that only the grass on our ground was not cut ( Probably because my game was at WP1, which is not an MCC Ground), but glad not to see broken glass. The good news about the bathrooms is that the public restrooms on the south east corner of the grounds is now actually open, but the bad news is that it is still a nice, long walk which means that the trees and bushes around the ground got watered down well this weekend. Jaggi tells me that the management is working with the City on getting the potties in place soon.
United Cricket Club ( photo above) is a smart team. Notice that most of them are well layered with stylish sweaters and jackets. Maybe that explains why they won in style over Tigers. Remember that in the month of May, it makes a lot of sense to wear thick layers if you have a game at Washington Park. Even if it is 70 degrees, the wind can freeze your rear off, especially while you are sitting outside the field.
My team, NoStars got manhandled by Eagles and so it was not a particularly good weekend for us. As far as I'm concerned, I'm seriously thinking of taking up another game..maybe golf..where you don't get hit by hard balls. I need to ice down the swelling again before I can sleep tonight. Still, I'm glad that we are back on the field. My mother was right - I'm nuts about this game. But, I'm glad I'm not alone.
