Christ, you poms are a strange lot, there's no wonder you win stuff all. My little protege wins you two cups and a runners up spot and you sack him!
From Steven Snell
In an interesting development a prominent Abberton cricket and jolly good chap has opened a Will Hill account and has fallen in love with the concept of live betting, he is sat at home watching the market fluctuations as we speak. Every thing from cricket and rugby to American football! Amazing stuff! He is short odds on to lose his house, emergency bank account and life savings to William Hill and subsequently start stealing from his mother's purse to fuel his habit as he spirals into despair.

The second ADCC Darts Open takes place in the coubhouse on Friday 13th November. Please get your entries in as soon as possible; there is a link on the homepage. The first event earlier this year was a massive success and current champion Ian Collett will be hard-pressed to retain his crown. Don't miss out, enter today.

Why have some of the players had their career stats updated to include 2009 season performances but others haven't? [I am in the process of working through these but it is a lengthy (and, if I am honest, a tad boring) operation which needs to be fitted in with other commitments. Rest assured, all of the stats will be updated over the coming weeks - Ed].
From Alexander O'Neal
I was flabbergasted to read a headline in the propular Sports press earlier this week Lockyer Looks To Conquer England and, although I know that our man is looking to annexe Cressing, I thought this may be setting his sights a little too high. I was relieved to discover that the article was merely discussing the forthcoming rugby league encounter between Australia (captained by Darren Lockyer) and England. That's not real sport! Hardly worth reporting.
From J Everett
It seems that Cressing have learnt about Sparky's proposed takeover and have pulled out of the PDQ league in protest. [I am sure that the two events are totally unrelated - Ed].
From Harry Nilsson
Surely the photo of the much-maligned macho cricketing allrounder Neil Gordon is a fake. Dressing in a skirt - I don't think so, even in Fingrighoe.
From a possible job applicant
Your job advertisement for the position of Treasurer seems to have no requirement for numeracy or financial qualification whatsoever. Surely that cannot be right? [In keeping with the jobholders' aptitudes and competences over the last 33 years, it was decided that financial acumen was not a pre-requisite for the role. Far more important was the ability to adopt a cussed manner with everybody at the club, a tendency to fall asleep during committee meetings and a penchant for introducing penny-pinching measures at the drop of a hat - Ed].

I love the X-Factor picture featuring John and Edwards. Perfect!
From Andrew 'there's a thistle in ma sporran' McLockyer, Head of Corporate Affairs, Grandis Electrical PLC
I am concerned to note that my sponsorship and company details have been removed from your website's homepage to make way for the 'will he, won't he' shanannigans of that uncle albert lookalike who now and again masquerades as the club treasurer. In the present financial climate surely the club should be doing everything possible to encourage its sponsors, not pandering to the feelings of an individual who should have 'walked' years ago!!
From Anon
I think it it a bit much when the Editor uses this wonderful site to creeparse around the Chairman by putting his wife's birthday on the front page. He has obviously done this in the hope of creating an endearment that will help his promote some of his hairbrained schemes through Committee. Very poor!
From Colin
And how many applications have we received for the vacant Treasurer's job? None I bet, or as Everett would count it, seven!
