Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

'You can enjoy a sporting performance without treating the person like a god.'

Not that easily when you are 11-14!

Beefy's finest sporting achievement remains his 10 pints in the Eastwood Town FC bar in the 50 odd minutes between play ending and the coach leaving.

Thank God he was no Derek Pringle

It was lager. Probably Marksman from Mansfield brewery.

For the record, he came on as sub with both knees heavily strapped, and "put himself about a bit"

He’d have fitted in well if putting himself about a bit in Eastwood

Indeed 57.5, doubly so when the performances are legitimate miracles on live TV and verified in Wisden (and of course later on in YouTube) rather than just words in some old book...

....and that was before I found out about the 10 pints in 50 minutes....😀

I was just talking with some Canadians about cricket and remembered one of the greatest catches of all time
