Twas the night before...

So here Wickman finds himself. Nervous for the 2s. There will be some people playing tomorrow who will never have been in a game where the outcome means promotion or not before.

When the newspapers write about this stuff what they never point out is that its not just about the 11 players that have the privilege of actually playing the game that could decide whether it's a good season, an average season or a game that makes no difference one way or another.

Tomorrow 11 players get to enjoy (hopefully, oh hopefully) a moment that they will never forget. Sealing promotion to the next division up.

But over the course of the season 33 players have made a material contribution to the promotion push. David Fudge, Nick Clark, Matthew Goulborn, Paul Sayce, Mike Lofting, Mike Forbes, Charlie High, Alex Wright, Paul Hibberd, Ian Taylorson, Mustafa Billy Noor, Nevil Tideswell, David Ford, Ted Goodwin, Tom Donnelly, Andrew Moore, Copeland Mi, Kirk Laight, Derek Soppitt, Mark Mackie, Shaun Whinney, Alex Jackson, Ian Greenwood, Richard Cole, Derek Nicholas, James Cameron, Adam Crane, Richard Ewen, John Hill, Nick Doddy, Jack Marfleet and Dominic Lown.

One is missing from this list. A small prize if you email Wickman with the name of the individual who played 2s but doesn't make it onto PlayCricket...

So those who are playing tomorrow - there are 22 people behind you who want to share in a good result tomorrow night and who expect you to deliver.

Do it for yourselves and then tell them you did it for them... that's cricket...
