Title: Ashley Cricket Club beer festival and AFC staff/supporters cricket team
Post by: Foz on July 09, 2014, 02:15:36 PM
On Friday night, An Altrincham FC staff/supporters team will take on a Sale Sharks Supporters team in a 20/20 cricket Match as part of the Ashley CC Beer Festival.

The AFC team will include Grahame Rowley, Neil Tolson, Ian Senior, Luke Pickering and various fans. I hear the Sale Supporters team may include Hendre Fourie, the former England Rugby Union international.

The Match will take place at Railway Field, Ashley (postcode WA14 3QE ) start as close to 6pm as possible.

Details of the beer festival can be found at http://www.ashleycricketclubbeerfestival.com/this%20year.html (http://www.ashleycricketclubbeerfestival.com/this%20year.html)

Is this a closed pool for selection? Fuming there are no open trials for the supporters side.

When was this decided? Who is the team.

I have played cricket to a very good standard and would have loved to have been part of this.

Not happy at all.

Football season finishes, cricket season starts. You snooze you lose boys...

In all seriousness though, this is a fantastic event, and a superb occasion for real ale enthusiasts to try some more ales out. There's always a live band on in the evenings too and I'd urge as many of you to try and make it down and support it as many members of Ashley CC support Alty and our fundraisers etc too.

This is the issue, there was no mention of this Supporters team on the forum. It is clearly an us and them situation the same as the football.

I feel I have been overlooked as a pace bowler simply because I am on crutches.  Outrageous.

Get yourself down to Trent Bridge, ask for Alastair Cook. You'll probably get a game.
