The Hundred Format has arrived and we absolutely love it, so we are having our very own Astwood Bank Hundred Festival.
The event will be held on Bank Holiday Monday (30th August) at the club and will comprise of:
4 teams of 8 players (old & young, current & former players)
The rules will be aligned to the Hundred Competition but based on 75 balls per innings
3 games on the day (Semi Final 1, Semi Final 2 & The Final)
First game will start at 11am (you will need to be there in advance of this for an immediate start)
The game will be followed by a trophy presentation and a few beers ...did you know its the beer festival weekend 🙂?
If you are keen to play let me know.
The Astwood Bank Hundred Draft
In the spirit of the Hundred we will be holding our very own Draft event.
This will be hosted at the club straight after the 1st Xl home game versus Redditch Saturday 28th August (8pm ish)
The format is as follows:
The 4 Astwood Bank Hundred Franchise owners will attend the teams are:
Shakey's Scorers
Crow's Challenges
Baz's Ballers
Will's Warriors
Each player will placed into a pot based on their primary skill (ie Batsman, Seamer, Spinner, all-rounder) with each owner taking it turns to draw players out of the hat.
After each round there will be a break as I update teams on screen, which does allow you the chance to grab a beer from the beer festival bar #justsaying!
As the various music festivals and some poorly timed holidays (you know who you are) have robbed us of almost all of the Wicket Keepers at the club, each team must have non keepers wearing the gloves (think of it as a chance to try something new)
See you there Boozy
