Now then I have something of a confession to make before I get writing – yes, I was at The Oval for the afternoon, but I didn’t see all that much cricket – there, it’s out there! I wasn’t too well in the morning but was meeting a friend for lunch in the pavilion and … More Surrey v Derbyshire – Event 122
After an evening watching women’s international cricket it was back to the men’s game. Essex faced the might of Yorkshire in their Royal London home quarter final. Yorkshire’s batting featured Adam Lyth, Jonny Bairstow and Gary Ballance amongst others, one thing to be thankful for was that Joe Root hadn’t been included. With uncertain weather … More Essex CCC v Yorkshire CCC – Event 118
Having to wait in for my shower to be fixed I was going stir crazy – the man turned up at 4.30 pm! The rain had been falling all day and yet the clouds started to clear and a bit of blue appeared.

I arrived at the Oval for what was going to be the final day of The 2015 Ashes; when I bought my tickets for this Test I had in mind that I may well be at the decisive day in the series. That wasn’t going to be the case – in a topsy turvy 5 … More England v Australia – The Oval – Day 4 – Event 116
I have a terrible confession to make when it comes to Day 3 of The 5th Test – I arrived a little late and forgot to get any cash out on the way.

Day 2 at The Oval had me feeling like an excited child! A day sitting in the Pavilion, albeit in the shade! I still have to pinch myself when I find myself in such places, I am easily pleased! (A warning – the photos are a bit all over the place – that’ll teach me … More England v Australia – The Oval – Day 2 – Event 114
And so the end of the summer beckons and the final Ashes Test at the Oval along with it. As a Surrey and England member I’d taken advantage of being guaranteed my seat and bought tickets for the first 4 days. I later added Day 5 to my haul of Ashes tickets. What chance I’d … More England v Australia – The Oval – Day 1 – Event 113
This is all a bit odd as I’m having to go back in time – less than a week but boy I’ve seen some sport in that time! But, I must keep a record of every sporting event I go to especially in 2015. (Can’t see me stopping in 2016) On top of this being … More Surrey v Worcestershire – Royal London Cup – Event 103
Leapfrogging Event 103 again I have to continue with the Trent Bridge Ashes! I’ve learnt lessons about buying tickets this summer, they’re cheaper for a reason! I paid £60 for a Day 2 seat and was a tad disappointed with my view. I was in the William Clarke Family Stand and had a huge gap, … More England v Australia – Trent Bridge – Day 2 – Event 105
