With the 2024-25 footie season finally over on this Bank Holiday Monday, many boarders on here might be lost for things to do on a Saturday afternoon. I recommended Castle Park Cricket Ground…. One choice is you can pay £50 for each ticket to listen to Texas, UB40, Tom Jones, Pixie Lott, Madness (etc), or listen to any from the cricket pavilion patio for free. Another choice is paying an exorbitant sum for a can of chemically enhanced lager or instead £4.50 for a decent real ale. How about a burger for £3.00? Oh, and the cricket…… Unbeaten Colchester & East Essex CC top the Essex Premier League after three fixtures. Prolific openerJoe MacGregor has now scored unbeaten back to back centuries (admittedly one scored away). Teenage Essex II’s pace sensation, Daniel Gladwell, is cartwheeling opposition stumps as dramatically as the action in a John Woo movie. Essex First XI reserve wicket keeper, Simon Fernandes has shown his class. New Zealand all-rounder, Liam Wheeler has added quality to an already decent squad. Big games, big personalities, sunshine and beer. Idyllic…… Can even talk to Ray of SparkfilmsTV fame…..or me. Please read my match reports in the Colchester Gazette on Fridays (not available on-line). We love it when U’s fans join us! Always free admission. |  |
