Hackney Umpires CC

...but the group chat has sparked into life with outrage (and peaceful actions) at the idea far right protesters are planning to assemble in Hackney, Waltham Forest and elsewhere in London. Am very proud of the team. Crap at being cricketers. Good at being humans. #uptheumpires

The HUCC 2024 season has been a shambles. The sound of tumbleweed on the team WhatsApp group has been deafening each time I've tried to raise a team... 🧵 👇

Valiant effort by the Umpires. Posted a low total of 113 with Simon and Prav starring. Manny and Simon took wickets and we got them 5 down but not to be. Anton in A&E with a split finger gets the Jim Grice bravery award

Hackney Umpires v Brixton Barbarians today Last year we chased 220 in 35 overs to win 🤯 In 2021 we posted 103 and defended it 🤯 What outrageous fortune awaits today? We have 8 maybe 9 players so any kind of win will be 🤯 get in touch if you're in South London and fancy it

If anyone in the vague region of kent fancies a game tomorrow, our spinner tried to go for a jog and his leg fell off. You don't need to be a spinner, because he isn't. Just need to be less fucked than he is. No match fees and the skipper will buy you 10 beers

@mkob100 HUCC 102 all out Fairly inevitable We will take the positives out of the game once we've worked out what they are

@mkob100 Homerton declare at 302-4. We are somewhat dishevelled.

Hackney Umpires lose the toss and are sent out to burn in the sun 🔥
