My team, my friends

This is Kegworth Town Cricket Club Under 13A team.

Last night we played our Leicestershire County Cup semi final. The result was a very narrow defeat, but there is no shame in that.

These lads can sit back and reflect on a great match and know that they are one of the 4 best U13 teams in Leicestershire. There are 66 U13 teams in total.

I am proud to manage these boys, my own son Ben is 3rd from left back row. I look at these lads a friends, not a bunch of kids that I manage.

Great photo and I can see them playing against Australia one day. Champians in the making.

Great photo. Was the lad in top right upset by the narrow defeat or by having his photo taken?

Beautiful portrait Sean, I just have to say that I admire how devoted you are to your children. You are a very caring person, it shows both in your written words and your pictures. :D I hope your summer is full of happy days and sunshine.

They all look like very well bred boys. Top right is Mr Grumpy Bum but the others all look proud as punch to be in that team.

@tracywilliams Thank you Tracy, that is a lovely thing you have written there, and has touched me deeply. x

Oh my - what a bunch of cuties!!! Of course do not tell them I said that - somehow I think they would frown at being called cute :) Very nice shot - you will cherish it always.
