Shoreham’s first winter fixture against the Market Porter 1st XI was a roaring success last Friday night. Strong performances from Ed, Greg, Brownie and Pat provided the foundations for the Shoreham innings. Birthday boy Sam (who acquired a sizeable army of supporters throughout the match) was also going at it hard. Special guest appearances from Mick, Deborah, and little Omar – all on loan from Acme for the evening – brought the game alive. And, despite arriving long after kick-off, Nick, Sarah and Blythe all gave worthy contributions, and helped make up the full Shoreham XI.

The Market Porter 1st XI’s strongest player, Harveys of Sussex, was the focus for most of the Shoreham team – and he’s a great character that I look forward to playing again in the near future. The fish’n'chips afterwards were sublime, and everyone left contented after a thoroughly enjoyable fixture.
