Report by Andrew Humphrey


St Andrew was a Christian Apostle and is the patron saint of several countries and cities including: Barbados, Romania, Russia, Scotland, Ukraine, Amalfi in Italy, 
Esgueira in Portugal, Luqa in Malta, Parañaque in the Philippines and Patras in Greece.  The more observant of readers will note that Downtown Barkingside is sadly 
missing from that illustrious list.  However, Barkingside does instead have its very own merry bunch of saints…….and indeed sinners and these splendidly well turned 
out chaps once again took to the field to provide some inspirational cricketing to the thousands that make the weekly pilgrimage to Barkingside to watch their heroes.
 
On a day when Leyton Orient were relegated from their 9 year spell in Division One, LOSCC were in need of divine inspiration to put the misery of relegation to the 
back of their minds and ensure there were no unnecessary CBs - well, that’s other than the usual ones which we are all accustomed to from Alan CB Wicks. (For the 
readers of this that are unfamiliar with the term "CB" 1) where have you been and 2) its means cry boy, yes that’s it, cry boy….).  Before an extensive report of 
the match is provided, I thought I would write a little something dedicated to Alan CB Wicks and about CB'ing in the rain:
 
			"Alan says, he'll never let you see, the way his broken heart is hurting him
			He's got his pride and he knows how to hide
			All his sorrow and pain
			He does his cry boy in the rain

			If he waits for stormy skies, you won't know the rain from the tears in in his eyes
			You'll never know that he loves Liam so
			Though the heartaches remain
			So Al is a cry boy in the rain

			Raindrops falling from heaven via Buckhurst Hill, could never take away Al's misery
			Cos since he and Liam are not together
			He prays for stormy weather
			To hide these tears he hopes we'll never see

			Someday when Al's cry boy's done
			He's gonna wear a smile and bowl in the sun
			He aint a fool
			But till then, darling, you'll never see Big Al complain
			He'll be a cry boy in the rain
 
LOSCC won by 121 runs.
