Take me out to the ballgame
Flamestorrrrrm! This week’s match report from Cap’n Adam Smith:
3 May: Flamestorm 21 – TMW Soho Swingers (easy there) 27
This was always going to be a tough one – a well-drilled team with high level players and big hitters left and right. Flamestorm started out on the right foot, winning the toss and choosing to field. A tentative first innings gave the opposition an early lead, but recovered well in the second with six runs – Nik, Hannah, Steve and Nicolas bringing them back-to-back.
The TMW beast responded with seven runs, holding us to two as our second line-up struggled against immense hits. Nevertheless the ‘storm kept building, and going into the sixth Flamestorm were down four.
Swingers came to bat again and smashed another innings that was going to be hard to recover from. The task at hand required 16 runs to draw even, and it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that halfway through our batting it looked entirely possible.
The momentum shifted and our opponents were flagging. In this final innings we almost doubled our score with ten magnificent runs, with everyone was getting in on the act. It was great to see us play with confidence, and despite coming up just short the match showed huge improvement from last season’s face-off.
Unanimous MVP for Hannah Critchley, getting runs on the board, a stunning catch behind home plate and literally throwing herself into this game head first. Well done to everyone who came along!

Are there too many characters in Infinity War? (Hint: maybe)
Did Celine just make the greatest cameo of all time?
