No roller = no cricket.

Our roller is, at best, “mature”. In reality, it’s a health hazard that overly relies on the power of gaffer tape and crossed fingers.

Replacing a roller is an expensive business. And so “Roller 2027” is born.

The club will be straining its fundraising sinews, with the aim of raising enough money to get a new roller by 2027, by which time our big red beast will surely have given up the ghost.
