The Tortoise Succumbs to the Hare
St George’s Rec has not been kind to Park Hill over the years.

But confidence was high when taking… Continue reading The Tortoise Succumbs to the Hare
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.

Saturday Captain’s Log – Welcome to 2020 and Reflection on 2019
A poisoned chalice (idiom - especially British English) a thing which seems attractive when it is given to somebody but which soon becomes unpleasant. On a dreary and dismal Friday afternoon in January 2019, I received confirmation that the Park Hill CC Committee had (foolishly) appointed me as the captain of the Saturday XI. The potent… Continue reading Saturday Captain’s Log – Welcome to 2020 and Reflection on 2019
