A FUN DAY AT SHIPLEY

This year we decided to add a Fun Day to our annual Junior Presentation event. The idea was to get parents and players, both senior and junior,  together. Very noble- but  we forgot to tell the weather gods and rain showers persisted throughout the day, although at least no thunderbolts were hrown


It made very little difference to the youngsters who simply wanted to burn off their energy  but it deterred the mums and dads and, disappointingly, the senior players. However we went ahead as best we could.
A tug of war got the youngsters attention

Ollie & Arthur tug away

and left most dragging along the ever dampening grass. Timo's team just about won.

Whilst this was going on the penalty shoot out attracted budding Harry Kane's with the target of beating the large framed Bob ( He's just a big kid really ) who amply filled the small sized goal.  Edward Cokayne won the golden goal knock out

Bowling at a Single stump proved a big draw and the "flat" wicket proved to be the downfall of most.
