The village of Fillongley of which i live on the outskirts of yesterday the cricket team won through to the semi final against a team from Sessay nr Thirsk in nth yorks .
So only one game away from playing at lords fame at last.
My son is the groundsman looking after the pitch so he must be doing something right..jacob

Will you be going to watch Jacob? You must feel very proud. Himself loves cricket. The only Test we've been to together was at Trent Bridge. Always a lovely atmosphere at cricket, even the amateur sides. Himself played for years and we always went to the matches home and away on Saturdays and took the children. I usually ended up scoring. I hope the team does really well! Good Luck!

But Cricket is soooo boooooring! At least you can sit and watch the grass grow!

Me and him have travelled the world following test match cricket and have even been on tele cos we were showing so much enthusiasm.
Annual holidays got boring so we waved the flag with the Balmy Army. Never had so much fun.
Good luck Jacob. How exciting

I'd much rather watch a cricket match than golf (yawn yawn). I've been to Fillongley cricket ground a few times in the past..

There is something quintessentially English about village cricket.
Fantastic news for your village team and your son Jacob, congrats and good luck for the semi final. Keep us posted.

I do agree, Spongey.

Yer but... I used to like watching Pro/Celebrity Golf when I were a Nipper! I will also watch Golf when it's played at Augusta - the MOST beautiful Golf Course in the world!

Well Fillongleys dream ended yesterday Sessays came down from Yorkshire and beat Fillongley by 65 runs so well done to them and good luck at Lords in the final.
Fillongley will have to wait until next to rekindle the dream they had a go that is the main thing..jacob

Better luck for them next time Jacob.
