WHO'S DRAWN WHO

Glen Sands and myself earlier tonight completed the draws for the Lincolnshire League's 2010 George Marshall Trophy and Bob Welton Cup.
The procedure was slightly unusual this year, as we were joined by two independent scrutineers, Appleby-Frodingham's Mick Bramley and Paul Hilton, who actually drew the names out of Glen's makeshift hat.
Glen and I, as officers of the Lincs League, were going to do the draws ourselves in the Brumby Hall cricket pavilion, following the AGM of the North Lindsey League. But rather than keep Paul and Mick hanging about to lock up the building, we gladly took up their offer to adjourn to the more luxurious surroundings of the nearby Social Club...over a pint!
Very pleasant it was, too. And thanks to the assistance of the two Steelmen we were able to get the job done in record time.
The draws will shortly appear in Lincs Cricket Latest, and hopefully the local press, so keep reading to see who your team has drawn.
On my way out of Brumby Hall I was stopped for an enjoyable chat about old times by former App-Frod, Bottesford and Brigg all-rounder Ian Grice. And he's already been pencilled into the Lincs Cricket Latest team for next August bank holiday's annual charity match at Outcasts CC, against Ian Fletcher's fellow veterans.
You can never start too early getting your team together!
The digital camera was working overtime tonight, as was the pen, so watch out for fully illustrated reports in the days ahead.
