In an attempt to solidify the sense of teamwork and national pride (ahead of the World Cup matchup tomorrow) I've gone ahead and drawn up two sides for our summer!
I've tried to keep families together (no need to replicate that OTHER war on US soil) and have also tried to balance the two teams as much as possible. Much will, of course, rely on attendance, as there are both potential and infrequent players on the list. But if we try real hard, we can field two sides of 11! Hopefully having a sense of place will encourage people to show up and win one for their teams!
The captains will keep an eye on the balance of the matches, and if one side keeps winning consistently, trades will be made to even things out. Permanent sides will be selected once things feel right!
So check out your team and start sledging right away - the Battle for Bennington has begun!

Anyone not on a team will certainly be placed on one once they show up! So spread the word, get your teammates out on the pitch and let's play some cricket!
