Bon Voyage Jules

I am sure everyone at MPCC will join me in wishing players favourite Julian Davies a safe journey as he heads off to Australia to support England's Ashes campaign. Will probably make a contest I had in mind to pass the winter regarding getting your MPCC cap as far from Mansfield as possible something of a one horse race!

All Over For Another Year...............

And so the last winner of the season was the rain as our anticipated trip to Westminster fell foul of the weather before a ball was bowled.

Those that attended made use of their free time by enjoying the hospitality of Metropolitan Police colleagues before wending their way to Watford for a hastily organised tour of some of the towns social and culinary establishments. I genuinely had no idea we had so many fine dining enthusiasts in the team, as McDonalds, Subway and the Turkish Delight Kebab retailer all got visited.

Some enjoyed the dining experience so much they had it twice (see photo).

Naturally, given there was no play, some of the winners of the years plethora of awards were decided: -

MPCC 2010 Run Machine

Neil Eggleston

MPCC 2010 Bowling Machine

Graham Footitt

MPCC 2010 Cat Like Fielder

Rem Fiorini

Well done to everybody who took part in whatever capacity in 2010. Thanks for your support. There will be an MPCC for as long as people want one.

All To Play For

With Brian Costello out of Thursdays fixture through injury the bowling title is probably a two horse race between Carl Gabbitas and Neil Eggleston.

The catching title is wide open however. Everything to play for!
