Foot and mouth threatens championship push

Down at the bottom of Gordon Brown's list of worries when the Cobra team meet today will be the future of the 2s' championship push and the remaining HWRCC home games this season.
Rightly so. The last outbreak of the disease resulted in the slaughter of up to 10 million animals and cost the country an estimated £8.5 billion. So a few games of cricket? Hardly an issue. Especially when the safety of our near deer neighbours is at risk.
Without the two home games to play the 2s will have to win both its away fixtures, at Effingham and Old Hamptonians to maintain its position at the head of the table. What price a return to Doom road...?
