• Annual Cricket Match - 4th July. Brits vs Yanks - Winner keeps the Colonies!

On July 4th 1776  there was a cricket match between Kent and Hampshire,
(The Duke of Dorset scoring 34 runs not out!)

We like to reenact this match every year! Remember that ‘a Declaration’ only means voluntary close of innings by captain of batting side before they are all out! We are not all out, neither are we amused!  

 Lets forget losing those pesky Colonies and focus on a Great Cricket Victory! Join fellow rejoicing Brits playing bat and ball July 4th , 11am at the Kendall Oval. Ladies are invited to sip tea, nibble cucumber sandwiches with their crusts cut off (the sandwiches that is) and bitch about the weather.    

The rules of Cricket are so bloody simple, even Bush learned to play a real game.  

You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. 

When they are all out, the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out and not ‘still in and not out’.  

When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. (Umpires stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out.)

When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game, what, what!!

So come on down, you brave Rebel minute men who dared challenge the Might of England - and this time be prepared to lose more than your shirt!!
