I’boro have been relegated from the NCL Premier League after a disappointing season of underachievement. Availability problems and just plain ability problems are the reason for the poor performances, anyway time to move on. I am now setting my mind to next years squad.

Some interesting ideas have been put forward for an overseas or professional for next year, Porky has suggested the following:

Ronnie Irani
Darren Gough
Dominic Cork
Chris Cairns

Let’s have some more ideas via the comments facility below.

I have had one of those weeks. Lots of meetings during the day so I have had to work in the evenings every night. This has meant that I have not had time to Blog or socialise on Facebook. The cricket situation is a bit dire, The Boro 1st XI look doomed to relegation. However, the 2nds have been promoted which is good.

If this is how the season ends it will solve what I think is our club’s biggest problem, the gap between our 1st and 2nd teams. It will be down from 6 divisions to 4, this will make movement between the two teams far easier. Players going up to the first are not going to be put under the same pressure that they are at the moment. And as we have been dogged for the last couple of years with players who don’t want to play cricket or can’t string half a dozen games together 2nd teamers will always be needed in the 1st team.

Me personally, I have been looking at touring caravans today with a view to spending next summer blocking up the A and B roads of Norfolk in search of peace and quiet. Si and Vez hope that this is the case so it will be ‘everyone back to ours’ next year. I can’t see it happening in truth. Next season must be all about getting better, promoting youth and looking after the players and supporters who care about the club.
