On Friday 7th August at Furness CC a AFC Supporters team are playing a Raiders Supporters team in a 20 over charity cricket game with all proceeds going to the North West Ambulance Community First Responders.If anyone would like to play in this please PM me or reply and we can get a team sorted.

Can't wait to see you block your way through 15 overs mate.

Just seen the date! Can't do it. A great loss to the game

Fixed that post for you Steve.

Count me in,

Good cause that. Obviously, it would be wholly inappropriate to approach a match against the egg chasers in a competitive spirit...............er..........so I'll donate

£20 if we win
£ 10 for the first of our bowlers to take three wickets or more
£10 for the first of our batsmen to score more than 30 runs ; and
£10 if one of our bowlers manages to bowl a bouncer ( that's above shoulder height with the batsman standing upright- and the ball has to bounce first ).

In accordance with AFC supporters' core skills, a superior level of sledging is taken for granted.

All the proceeds probably used up due to First Responders being frequently called out owing to opposing players "interactions"!!!!

Does anyone remember the soccer players v rugby players end of season game where one half was played under the FA code and the other half played under the RL code?
Great fun and plenty of laughs---those were the days when sport was FUN.

I do indeed, played at Craven Park - we always seemed to lose at both codes!

I remember that during the "soccer" half of one game the rugby's winger Bill Burgess - a top player in his day - was trying to take the ball past a BAFC defender; he realised that he wasn't going to succeed so he simply picked up the round ball and sprinted half the pitch to score a try. No-one could catch him!

I'm not very good but I wouldn't mind getting involved.n stick my name down stu. Do we need to find our own kit? Pads etc?

Would love to have a game but unlikely to be able to now unfortunately as my arm is wrecked. If you're short of players and it's better nearer the time though I'll give you a shout.

What time kick-off is it Stuey?

You mean wickets pitched Tidds?

go on Stu stick us down! Don't know if I impressed enough to get in the team, with by big duck the other night at Vickerstown though!

Kick-off also means start, there is no start time mentioned?

If there's any shortfall in numbers Stu, let me know I'd have a run out

Any update on this?
