Welcome to the Northern Hemisphere winter once again. Mind you - I will go for anything that takes my mind off this morning's cricket in India. Massive face palms all round there!
Still - at least we are playing better than Australia and not cheating like the South Africans..... again!

Anyway - to take my mind away from the gentler sport we have a whole host of cracking Barham, Road action for you this weekend!

Tomorrow both the 1st and 2nd XVs are at home playing against Colchester and the 3rd XV (the so called Mavericks..... I know I know - don't get me started) are welcoming Old Haileyburians to Barham Road. The strollers have a week off with their feet up and a nice cup of cocoa and barbiturates.

A right royal feast of rugby action for you all. However it may be a touch on the chilly side - so all supporters are encouraged to wrap up warm. Team sheets are below.

Then on Sunday the Ladies XV travel to Guildford for a cup match - their team sheet is also below. Any supporters who wish to go let me or Anna know.

Good luck to all our teams this weekend and to the OJs as well.

I'm off to invest in some long johns and a better cricket team!
See ya!

Big love

Badger
