Another day, another trip to the beach. Today’s game saw Big Al in superb form for the “shirts”, scoring two goals in their 4-2 demolition of “skins”.

Gaz won the Sandcastle competition with an excellent effort (see below), and the day was capped off by another quick dip in the sea. The swim out to the buoy was refreshing (I don’t know what Kerri and Cassie find out tough about open water swimming!).

PS - Seriously though, well done to Kerri-Anne Payne and Cassie Paton who took Silver and Bronze in the 10K Marathon Swim.

Tuesday saw the commencement of the 1st Black Rock Sands Test. Despite frequent interruptions for rain, and a slightly “sandy” wicket a goodly number of overs were bowled before we “lost the light”.

Just in case you were in any doubt, we can confirm that the sea off the North Wales coast is indeed fucking freezing, even at the height of summer. Video from dip to follow.
