The Final Dig...

The Voice is, as any true blue blooded cricket fan should be, going into hibernation now for the winter as the extremely dull and boring football season starts. The Voice would like to take this opportunity to thank all those that have featured in his many columns and that have taken it in the spirit it was intended. To all those that have taken offence to anything printed here, The Voice would just like to recommend that they ignore this column in the future for their own good.

The voice would like to single out Richard Selfington for particular praise, and his tireless efforts to provide The Voice with new material through his various comical activities on the cricket field have certainly not gone unnoticed. It is with this in mind that The Voice would like to congratulate Richard on being the inaugural winner of the ‘Voice’s Main Inspiration Award’. Richard had one innings in the first team this season which lasted just one ball before an umpire decided that he didn’t want such a selfish batsman at the crease scoring runs. Rich has picked up a new nickname ‘Selfington’ this year, which has swept through the club and has given The Voice much pleasure using it whenever he can. He has also been striving to reach a goal of 500 league runs, which looked like it was in the bag with him only needing 14 from the last game of the season against Basildon. Leigh put together a fairly untroubled total of 245 for 5 with 3 players getting 50’s and two scoring solid 20’s, in fact there was only one batsman to fall for less than 14 and that of course was Selfington. Leaving himself close but alas not holding a hamlet. This also gave The Voice plenty of amusement.

So take a bow Selfington, you have earned it!
