Great to meet up with veteran batsman Ben Jacob today - making a surprise (to me) appearance for Caistor 3rds.
Left-hand batsman Ben (ex-South Kelsey) was once one of the most consistent accumulator of runs in the lower reaches of the Lincs League.
He also played a key role as a senior official in the old (South) Humberside Alliance for some years.
These days, it seems, he helps out Caistor when they are struggling for numbers. Obviously the youngsters get preference - and that's only right - but sometimes an experienced head or two comes in handy.
Ben and I shared a few memories of times past - as we always do when our paths cross, which is not often enough these days.
