Nostell surrendered their one match unbeaten start to the season in disappointing fashion at old rivals Fairburn on a day more suited to winter fleeces than cricket whites.

Nostell St Oswalds vs Caribbeans 19th July 2008 Match Gallery

Typical, last year the season was pushed back into May and we had the best April on record. This year we’re back to the last week in April and we have’nt seen the sun in weeks!

Co-founder member of Nostell Zealand Jason Garrick now has a player profile in the 1st XI section. Cheers to Nic for doing the deed on his fellow countryman, the picture attached just about does justice to his rather large snout! Only kidding Jason, yours is probably a little bit flatter…
