EXALTED COMPANY

Umpired today for only the second time at Chichester Road - Cleethorpes v Caistor, North Lindsey div one, the Meggies winning comfortably enough.
It brought back memories of seeing England captain Michael Atherton there, not so many years ago, when Lancashire saw off Lincs in a memorable NatWest tie. Much beer was consumed that day by the Brigg Town Barmy Army, plus breakast on the seafront and fish and chips on the way home. A great day out at the cricket.
Good to meet up with Howard Swain again, tending the turf at the end of a match which just got finished before the heavens opened. What a great servant to Cleethorpes cricket!
