Staffs Uni Cricket

Nothing like getting the call that the games off when you’re halfway to the ground…. 3/4 games postponed now due to the weather, will we see the sun next week? Probs not as we play in Stoke #coldandwet #goagain

@SportsbeatJohn Keele could never badge

Local Cricket with many familiar faces. Get this. Few local lads playing Sam Akram - Cheadle Dave Wilson - Cheadle Tom Warburton - Leycett Max Blurton - Porthill Charlie Tatton- Porthill Ethan Plummer - Porthill Dean Mitford - Haslington

2 changes to the team for tomorrow's game at Notts as we look to bounce back from last week's defeat. Ethan returns to the XI and Izzy makes her debut. Meanwhile, Alec is ready to take the gloves with Jim away with work commitments. #getthegameon #cricket #bucs #generalgloves
