Future Sprigger Tom Oliver practises his moves.
The team and K Thewlis skipper for the day.

The Sprigs took on local London side Teddington at their beautiful ground that is owned by the Queen no less. This promised to be a memorable day under our inspirational Skipper Kevvy Thewlis.Saddly for for Kev and the team the Capts curse struck again (6th time on tour a Capt has made a blob!) and 5 of our best going down with injuries, there is a bit of a theme with the injuries ie. all over 40!. The most serious being Peter "Sliver Sovereign" Jacobsen going down life threatening cramp.
On the bright side the Sprigs batted well with an opening stand of 87,going on to make 7/216 with the best being Ranje Olivers hard hitting run a ball 67. The Teddington boys had little trouble overhauling the total with their Sri Lankan pro taking a toll on most of the bowlers, the best being J Whiting 2/28.The rest were Jackson 29, Noble 46,M Whiting 9,K Thewlis 0,J Whiting 4,Wells 15,P Jacobsen 11 (retired forever),D Brooks 14, Doyle 1 .
Today is the Wattlesprigs big Test Match and last game of the tour against traditional rivals Shepperton. We have selected the cream of the crop so good luck boys we haven t won this one since 1986 (hope Rudi Koretzen isn t umpiring).
