Chingford Cricket Club

Last year's 2nd team captain Richard MacGregor had the knack of losing his Vice-Captains; Paul Adshead got lost in Greece and Richard Alston was injured for most of his season as second in command. This year's 2nd team captain Robert Runciman has his own curse, that of losing opening bowlers. A few weeks back, Andy Perrin announced that his body had told him that he would have to curtail his cricket activities to devote more time to his boat. This weekend, Kerry Marriott, the Frank Sinatra of Chingford CC, announced that his latest comeback was at an end and that he too is retireing. The actions of Steve Piper will be watched with greater concern.
