climbing wall was built exactly to the scale of McCarthys erect penis |
Mark
Potter wearing incredibly homosexual headgear |
 |
 |
| Oli
sporting traditional Sussex hat |
McCarthy
looks forward to a fine game in prospect |

when the floodlights came on |
 |
 |
| The
RAF Dog Display team were here to put on a show |

one jumps through a ring of fire |
The
question was asked though: Why do the RAF need dogs, they wont be much
good at flying planes |
 |
 |

Kieran and Kev look forward to the second innings |
Dave,
Potter and Oli are also rather excited |
 |
