Horrible team to play against. Nearly as bad as Newhaven. Talking mid to late 90's though..

Are they a different team to Portslade Beaumont? in fact is Beaumont still going?

strong and stable with me, or...
My son started playing with the colts over the summer. They had a waitrose sponsored open day with a couple of the England Women's cricketeers which was really well attended. My lad seemed to enjoy it anyway.
Wise words. What an utter bellend that Ray Wells was. I clean bowled him once, when I was about 17. As he shuffled past me towards the pavilion, he told me a was a "little c..t". Cheerio Ray.

Horrible bunch.
Horrible bunch.
was Basil Parker playing for them? he was friendly.............
Totally this, played for Patcham against Newhaven in the summer after the floods down there, again in the nineties and the outfield was dried mud and of course we had to use the Nottingham wicket, it was like playing in souweto and yes that **** Wells defiantly had issues!

Like it was your fault he was the worst cricketer in his family....
I think I might have mentioned that to him.
We used to play them on Sundays. Anyway, this particluar Sunday Ray breezes into bat in full Derbyshire CCC regalia, where brother Colin was plying his limited trade. Sweater, helmet, arm guard, the full coffin of kit dripping off him. I cleaned him up third ball, and rather unsportingly laughed at his misfortune, safe to say he didn't see the funny side. In the same game his son, who could have been no more than 12 years old, spilled one off his bowling (which was worse than his batting), he then let rip with a torrent of abuse towards his son - one of the worst things I ever saw while playing local cricket. Oh, he also served a league ban for punching an umpire. Apart from that, a great lad.

Now there is 2 polarised views!
I'm intrigued to know where that view comes from Munkfish. I've only really be going to the kids coaching sessions where all the adults of the club present appear to be doing a really good job, with a friendly welcoming atmosphere. Never seen the adults play though, so I might only be seeing the wolf in sheep's clothing.
A few comments on this thread appear to be based on their rep 20 years ago.

They weren't 'orrible when I played for them in 70's, 80's and 90's. Good social and cracking tours.
RIP Roy and Lee Shepherd.
Maybe it all changed a bit when they left Victoria Park and moved up to Sainsburys.

Once played against them and a guy called John Robinson played for them who was an Albion Fan. we also played for the same company team in the Brighton mid week 14 x 8 ball overs league in the late 70 early 80s. St Peters was one of the best sides.
