Kens last game before returning to OZ, after 2 seasons with the Leisure, ended up being cancelled due to inclement weather. Basically it pissed down all day and at 2pm it was obvious it werent gonna happen. Being a friendly and thirsty bunch we made alternative arrangements, namely the Fountain Pub.
Ken, handy with both bat and ball, maybe not so hot in the field, rugby worn knees not helping the mobility. Infact, he was beginning to get a reputation for either running others, or himself, out (will consult the scorebooks to see how many exactly). A great find though, and from a skips point of view always available, always reliable, and able to find his own way to games, albeit via some strange satnav routes. In the 2 seasons he scored 395 runs and took 15 wickets. Not bad for someone who apparently hadnt previously bowled.
Keen smoker of menthol ciggies, he told of fav innings, wickets and grounds. He was presented with a Hounslow Leisure CC shirt and a mini bat signed by all the team. Hopefully we'll see him again, maybe when we tour Brisbane.
