For some, a glance at this season's results column for UCC's League side might be a painful read. But amongst the beaten brows and forlorn (yet often amusing) post-dismissal self-chastising, the team continues to play its cricket with fool-hearty endeavour and eternal optimism. Such is the UCC way.
In recent weeks we have seen standout performances from Johnny Carpenter (4-33*), Ollie Streets (the classiest reverse sweep in the league), Jon Sorrell (1 for 0 off 0.3), Simon Carey (84 n.o.) and Chris Close 4/56). Such performances have been the succulent individual roses amongst the indigestible team thorns of losing 5 for 0** and 4 for 0** in consecutive innings. Yet, at various times in our last three matches we have had in our sights the vinning post... or is the whinning post? (its been so long I can't quite remember the correct term).
*I'm Australian. Deal with it.
**See *
The final word(s): A tremendous congratulations to Jon Sorrell who scored his maiden ton for the UCC Sunday Team against Luddesdowne. Dare I say the 'Legend of Luddesdowne' has been born... (or have I gone too far there).
