Nicholls595 Mar 2021 1:12pm, 11 Mar 2021 24,063 posts	0 Nicholls595 I first played for Notts Ivanhoe as a school boy in the late 70's. The club evolved from an older club made up of servicemen, mostly RAF. My elder brother played and I initially went to watch, then score, then make up the numbers. We won the Nottingham and District Sunday League in 1978. I was 12. There was a lot less League cricket in this area back then. Most of our team played for other clubs on a Saturday. We also played in the Evening League, which at 15 x 8 ball overs, was T20, 30 years before T20. There were about 12 divisions and we were in 2 or 3, so a pretty good standard.

There's a chance I might be done and finished in time to be home to watch some tomorrow. There's little chance of me starting anything meaningful when I get home if it's around 3pm, so might as well watch some hitting if I can.
