Agricola v Clapham Nomads - 22/9/19

For last weekend, our great friends the Energy Exiles set us up with a match at Nursery Road against one of their toughest and longest-standing opposition teams - Agricola. We were looking forward to this even though it would have been a bit like going on a date with your wife's best friend, or possibly your best friend's wife. Anyway, at 10 a.m on Sunday, I was basking in the sun at an outdoor cafe, looking out over a parched Clapham Common, when I took a call from Agricola's organiser to say that their captain had called the game off as there was torrential rain where he was. I am not sure of the skipper's precise location; Seathwaite Tarn? Bergen? Possibly Manchester?  Probably not in South West London judging by the sky. So it was off, but at least that meant we finished a rather mixed 2019 season on a win (against India Legends.)  I think our final record was played 16; won 6; drawn 1 and lost 9. I'll confirm that and put the averages on here soon.
