A team from Porchfield Cricket Club were successful on debut at the Annual East Meon 6s Competition.

So, Saturday morning arrived and after many hours of planning the PCC East Meon 6s Squad arrived at the ferry ready for the challenge ahead. With little optimism and dreams of an early finish/early start on the beers PCC boarded the ferry! With discussion of early beers Callum saw this as an opportunity to crack on…8:05am! After a cracking drive to East Meon consisting of 3 random songs from each player’s birth year (Charlie’s 2006 was the winner for those wondering) and only getting lost twice. We arrived to potentially the poshest place ever (cue Callum Capon)! Walking tinny in hand, shouting abuse at all that moved the whole event knew we had arrived! With expletives and belly slaps firing off quicker than Tupac’s killer Callum introduced himself to the locals…as the rest of the team hid! With Callum quickly encouraged to climb the roof of the clubhouse to fix the home team’s clock, Captain Toss Fantastic won his first flick up of the day. Team in our group to play first, with the sun shinning and the boys eager a quick decision to bowl first was made. ‘Let’s start strong!’ was the message to the squad as B*witched rang around the ground! With the crème of PCC’s bowling talent the his disposal the Skipper called for C.Adkins to set the tone…4 slips in place ready for the edge…leg side wide (3runs) + 4…great start!! ‘Next ball he’ll be on it’ came the murmurs from the slips…WRONG half volley on his pads…4 runs! Time to change the field! Shouts of ‘This lad is shit!’…came from…the skipper! With each recognised bowler delivering what can only be described as a buffet of delicious scoring opportunities it was down to Skipper and Morris to regain control and set the tone…we are PCC!!! Games against Jimmy’s Team and East Meon, again Captain Tosser winning each toss and fielding first. C. Adkins continuing the trend of firing the first ball down leg side…AOliver coming to the rescue with the ball…again (game 2)! Chasing down scores with batting elegance was the order of the day. Finishing top of the group…knocking a disgruntled East Meon out…f** me…let’s take this seriously and win it!!! Serious heads switched on!! With the other group in full swing the team began to analyse performances, technique and frailties in each team. Ensuring that Team PCC would be ready for the Semi-Final…and ready we were. With the PCC team set up to ensure the strongest options available and our semi-finalists scouted to the nth degree PCC strode out to field (obvs toss won again  [?] !) a strong bowling performance ensured that a high-scoring opponent from the group stages were restricted. With the oppo frustrated about music being played ‘it’s not really cricket is it?! I can’t concentrate with that on!! With a batting line-up similar to the Harlem Globetrotters they had no chance of defending such a total! We are PCC and we are in the final! With the second semi-final being won, PCC had made their plans. Like a viper waiting for their pray the toss was won (shock)! Skipper set the field…4 men in the v, plans set, and the oppo fell for it!! PCC set themselves an easy chase…or so Callum though who began planning his victory celebrations before the first ball of the PCC innings began…1st ball…Morris out…no panic as the cream rose to the top! We are PCC and we don’t lose! Celebrations began…dancing occurred, Capon swilled the dog of a convicted attempted murderer and apologised by licking his nipple, a bit of shooting star spotting to end the day! Morning broke and like the decent blokes we are PCC began to tidy the site! Local legend Morro invited the lads to celebrate with a coffee and hot-tub double! Victory has never tasted so sweet. With the local paparazzi chasing the team like poor lady Di PCC made the journey back to the safety of the Island with trophy safely in their mits! We are PCC and we don’t lose!!!
