Hillians As you all had ball-by-ball coverage (well near enough) from Chris K, I can keep it relatively short. Thanks Chris – the whatsapp updates are much appreciated mate. Sunday saw us taking on Old Wimbledonians - a team we hadn't played before. With a couple players running late and my inclination to… Continue reading Sunday XI Vs Old Wimbledonians Away – Cricket in Epsom and Ewell
With us sitting top of the league we now had an away game against Croydon of India, one of the only 2 teams to have beaten us this season. With some suspect weather forecast, my usual thinking of bat first was challenged. With a couple of players running a bit late and our strength… Continue reading Saturday XI Vs Croydon of India Home – Cricket in Epsom and Ewell
So this week we faced an away game at home if that makes sense. I won yet another toss and chose to bat.

So this past Saturday we travelled to Kingstonian looking to continue our winning streak.

We turned up and the pitch looked more like the outfield than a cricket… Continue reading Saturday XI Vs Kingstonian Away – Cricket in Epsom and Ewell

In true Park Hill style I lost the toss, but luckily the guy… Continue reading Sunday XI Vs Seven Sports – Cricket in Epsom and Ewell

Anyway to the game… I… Continue reading Saturday XI Away vs Ploughmans – Cricket in Epsom and Ewell
Hillians It's fair to say it was an interesting day on Sunday! A day which started off so promisingly with the prospect of some sunshine, a decent game vs our neighbours and a BBQ! Unfortunately not much of the above prevailed... Ewell agreed to let us bowl first so we could sort out our much… Continue reading Sunday XI Vs Ewell Cricket Club – Cricket in Epsom and Ewell

With Dan & Symo still en route from… Continue reading Sunday XI Vs Putney – Cricket in Epsom and Ewell
