Arising from the enjoyment I have from playing the Coastshire County Cricket League, I decided with the help of Howzat Dave and Neil Sparkes plus website help from Andy Fake; to establish a new Subbuteo Solo Cricket Championship! In our initial season, we had six teams, with each player playing as both teams, batting and bowling. The two players played their fixtures separately the same week and the two scores were added together. Bonus points could also be scored.
The season proved to be a success, and all the original six players signed up for the second season, and more new players were added. In Season 1, my team the Coastshire Seagulls finished third :
Essex Zephyrs .............................73
Yorkshire Exiles...........................63
Coastshire Seagulls.....................54
East Farthing Bounders...............52
Suffolk Spitfires...........................48
Lincolnshire Llamas....................32
The matches are played over the course of ten overs for each team, and so it's possible to play a fixture within an hour or so. This is totally different to my own home Coastshire County Cricket League which can take two to three hours to complete a fixture. However, both forms of the game are very enjoyable, and I am so pleased that I decided to start playing the game again.
I played in the second season as the Coastshire Seagulls and finished runners up to Essex Zephyrs again. The league went on for another two seasons, but sadly I wasn't able to participate because of a lack of spare time on my part.
