Subject: Cronin the Barbarian: I was there!!

Have been thrust up to the heady hights of the First Team , my disappointment at not keeping my appointment with a certain " person " from WH was soon dispelled at what can only be described as a life changing moment.
When Captain Dave , asked for volenteers to face the "DONS" attack it seemed that he was asking the sheep to face the wolf. However , from the bowels of the changing room came a resolute " I will" , and with the light shining from behind his statuesk frame " Cronin the Barbarian " stepped forward.

Onto the field the gladatorial collosus stepped , wielding his bat as if to smite the on rushing hordes of orc like creatures.

Striking first right then left , smashing the thunderbolt red orbes to all corners of the ground , our hero sleu all before him. New bowler after new bowler faced the same grizzly end , until the most dastardly of deeds befell him. On a " cornet plus flake " our hero stepped forward to play another deathly blow , only for the ball to " miss the plot " and strike his leg. Time stood still as the umpire raised his ghostly finger , and the cloud of doom was cast over the barbarian.

1 short of a tremendous ton our hero returned to gain sustenance from a hearty tea ( some hope ... sandwiches from a packet and some crisps and cake.).

One would think his day was done , but oh no , with a hero required for the last over who should be thrown the ball but .... Cronin the Barbarian. Sure enough , with the first ball of the final over and the opposition only requiring 10 to win , he produced a deathly thunderbolt that flew off the shivering batsmans bat and into the air behind the keeper. With Salmon like agility , Stuart turned , leaped into the air ( I am certain that you could almost get a single page of the Sun between his feet and the ground ) and managed to collect the ball just before he and it hit the ground.

Statues ahave been errected for less endevours , but our mild mannered hero just trudged off his field of glory ...
the enemy had been smited ......

Yes ... I was there ...
