The Tortoise Succumbs to the Hare

St George’s Rec has not been kind to Park Hill over the years. Whether it be standing helplessly watching the Jiggernaut pile on the runs or being served the dubious delicacy of egg pastries for tea whilst receiving a shellacking off Ali, it’s not been a happy hunting ground.

Match Report – Mallu CC v Park Hill – Saturday 13 May 2023

Park Hill’s season belatedly got underway at the third attempt in somewhat farcical circumstances. Upon arrival at the ground, the wicket, which was greener than Oscar the Grouch on St Patrick’s Day, was being prepared with a strimmer and didn’t look like it had seen a roller in years. In addition, the changing rooms and… Continue reading Match Report – Mallu CC v Park Hill – Saturday 13 May 2023

This, coupled with the strong XI that were available for the encounter, meant that all things pointed towards one thing: an underwhelming performance.
