Helperby RevengeAs the second half of the season got under way it was Helperby visiting Pierres Park and with a good forecast and a new dry deck Angry was hoping to win the toss and have a bat as the temperature started to rise.

Whirlwind Whacker Saves the DayTorrential rain on Friday and a heavy shower on Saturday had the game in doubt as Blubbs travelled to Birstwith for this weeks fixture, after some consideration the umpires agreed a two thirty toss and a three o'clock start with thirty five over per side as Sherman and Heardie discussed barge trips around the countryside.........More
Ouseburn OverhaulAs the season reached the halfway point Angry found himself venturing across the countryside to take on table toppers Ouseburn for a tough match which Sherman was hoping would be rained off, and Crash Test Dummy wished Angry had never called him into the squad.

Mario's evening league success continued as week four came and went in the 2011 season, ten man Birstwith won the toss and elected to bat on another cold damp evening which looked like the game wouldn't get finished.
Winton 3-21 and Sherman 2-16 got the bowling attack off to a good start as the Birstwith innings crumbled to 38-5 from the first eight overs. There was more devastation for the visitors when Ollie "Skunk" Richards turned up the heat taking 3-7 from 3.1 overs finishing off the Birstwith innings on 72 all out.
Winton(9) opened up the innings and looked desperate to get out so he could make a hasty exit to meet Caroline Cucumber at the "Trough" as Angry(29no) and Mario(22no) finished off his less than half done job passing the visitors total with still five overs remaining. After the game a saddened Pepperami was left almost speechless "I've just paid thirty five quid for a taxi to get here and then I find out Bubba's stolen my place in the team.....un-******* -believable, I'm off to work with Uncle Peter next week, at least I'll be wanted there!".
