From Dilan Harshana Sandagirigoda
I'm Dilan Harshana Sandagirigoda. I am a first class cricketer in Sri Lanka and I have played 14 first class matches and 19 list A matches (one days). I am only 24 years of age and I want to enhance my cricketing experience and ability and potential to one day play for Sri Lanka. I have been advised that one of the best ways to do this is by playing a season or two in England county cricket competition. I am a right arm legbreak bowler and left-hand opening batsman.I attached my performance and my personal details. I want to get used to the pacier wickets of England as compared to the spin bowling wickets that I have had to play in Sri Lanka. So give me a amateur Contract or work permit to play in your country.

FASCINATION WITH ONE SCORECARDS
We old boys of Brigg Grammar School are very fortunate indeed. Copies of the school magazine, The Briggensian, have been scanned in to PDF format and are available through the Library section on the website www.briggensians.net. At random I selected an issue in 1965 and came across the following gem:
Brigg Grammar School v Scunthorpe Grammar, May 15th, 1965 (home). Brigg won by 71 runs.
(Brigg Grammar) School batted first, and after the first five batsmen had gone for only 41 runs, Fuller and Clark got their heads down to put on an unbroken partnership of 60 for the sixth wicket, Fuller finishing with a fine 59 not out. Then he and Francis went on to bowl Scunthorpe all out for only 30 runs to give Brigg a fine win.

Total 30
Bowling: Fuller 5-18, Francis 5-10.
Could the Welton in the Scunthorpe line-up be the current Lincolnshire County Cricket League chairman, still turning out for Holton-le-Clay 2nds? The age of Welton in 1965 would seem to tie up with the vintage of today's veteran performer. We will ask him next time we see him in Brigg Tesco.
