Surrey Hills on Saturday and we needed a solid win to keep the pressure on Farleigh and catch... if not nudge ahead... of Woldingham who are in a strong position with a couple of matches to go.
Weather was pretty decent and Captain Mark had the troops all fired up with some words of wisdom as we trekked off to the first. "Hew, don't be nice, we ...

Moe Norman: Best striker of a ball ever?
Always interesting, often frustrating to his peers and that public (not that he'd care about either), Moe died in 2004 but is held by most serious players as the best ball striker of all time. I'm halfway through a book about life, 'The Moe Norman' story. Definitely worth a read.

Blue Medal Bank Holiday Weekend

Saturday's Swindle was a ...

The resort is about a 2 and a half hours drive North of Joburg, and we were extremely pleased to be upgraded to a fantastic house that we would be happy to live in (Lucky it’s still low season!)

Surrey National take a close home win against Farleigh
Surrey Hills home match against the Farleigh campaigners.
Deputising for the Winkle, day started slowly with only 10 breakfasts being prepared (instead of 20) and tea/coffee not on hand. All swiftly remedied and the teams all lined up. Surrey National remained third behind Woldingham and Farleigh in the league but with home matches lined up we ...

Saturday saw 14 Swashbucklers head out and Bazza took the honours with Martin second. Sunday saw a very decent field of 21 stick their hard-earned in the pot, with ...

Swashbucklers Ryder Cup Captaincy for 2014-2015 Confirmed
Posting a couple of weeks ago about the Captaincy for next years inter-Swindle Ryder Cup, I haven't been swamped with questions or nominations!
Not a problem but at least the "process" if you can call it that, was open to all to express an interest.
That said I can formally announce that Mr Lee Feasey is the Swashbuckler's Ryder Cup Captain for ...
