Gentlemen of Lewes

@ThatsSoVillage @FirleCC Terrific, thanks. Defending and chasing down pitiful totals since 1851

@GoLCC_Lewes @FirleCC Great scenes, hope you had a good day chaps!

Gents@fall@from 105-3 to 119AO @FirleCC. That really is @ThatsSoVillage - thank heavens for tea!

So close it was, so@close. @FirleCC squeak over the line - 122-9 - to@pip @GoLCC_Lewes at the post. Terrific game. Bring on @thehundred fixture on the evening of Wednesday 20 July

The @GoLCC_Lewes at 95-3 at drinks off 20/35 overs vs @FirleCC. Gorgeous here

The @GoLCC_Lewes visit @FirleCC tomorrow, Sunday, the first of two fixtures this month; #VillageRules tomorrow 2pm, @thehundred on Wednesday 20, early evening. One of cricket’s oldest fixtures (1851 and counting), newest format for third time in three years @ThatsSoVillage

@GoLCC_Lewes post a competitive 177-6 off 35. Time for tea. @lewespriorycc Ruins reply die from 4pm; 20 overs from 5.15pm #VillageRules - top score of 53* from Matt Horsbrugh

At drinks, @GoLCC_Lewes are 78-4 off 20 vs @lewespriorycc Ruins

Skipper @spshall wins the toss @GoLCC_Lewes in our return fixture against @lewespriorycc Ruins - after a fashion - and elects to bat. Back at Convent Field for the first time this season and - as ever - the pavilion’s locked …

It’s match day for El Classico, @GoLCC_Lewes away to Rodmell at the Virginia Woolf Bowl. Who could forget last season’s match-winning five-fer from @AlexSoTango??? COYG! Why, we even made @WisdenCricket in 2021

Scenes at the Gudges, Isfield, as David Tutton scores 112* with a #Tailender to seal a first ever victory for @golcc_lewes over the @Zambucans @TailendersPod

Nearly 50 up

It’s a glorious afternoon for the Gents first game@of the season, against our old friends and adversaries @Zambucans today - our first since appearing in @WisdenAlmanack 2021

Have a look @FirleCC ...

The biggest honour for a cricket team that plays on Sundays like the @GoLCC_Lewes? To be featured in the Chronicle of @WisdenAlmanack 2021 for our oldest fixture/newest format @thehundred. AND to be graced with a cartoon by cartoonist Nick Newman

Morning @ECB_cricket - do you have definitive ruling on teas for 2021 season? Assuming a blanket ban, but we wdn’t want to be guided by the PM as in 2020 (no cricket because of teas and changing rooms - breakfast press conference), all fine with no hugging/tea from Whitty (5pm)

Gents leave it to middle October to@win both our first (and last) game of the season, our third game against the Ruins. More to follow ...

We’re still playing cricket! The third @GoLCC_Lewes vs @lewespriorycc Ruins on the STG all-weather. Ruins 100-5 of their first 15, Gents 125-4 the fabulous @McMcMenemy just clubbed a BEAUTIFUL six. It’s like a test match

The @lewespriorycc / @GoLCC_Lewes Ruined Gentlemen restrict @EastDeanTigers to 115-AO with @AlexSoTango, @grahamcarlow and @chrisarran_art taking six wickets between them. Craig and Kevin about to start the RG reply

In these desperate Financial times we need to adapt, overcome and have a diversity of thinking ... but hiring out your score box to live in is a new one ... Shenley Cricket Centre, Hertfordshire. It’d be perfect to roll out of bed for a home game! rightmove.co.uk/properties/838…

Quality reporting in @sussex_express today of the inaugural 💯 in Sussex last week between @FirleCC and @GoLCC_Lewes with pics of @rondamuk @AlexSoTango and more
