With a demand for international caps with the Brockwell 49ers at an all time high, I thought I’d give a few stats and figures to keep everyone up to date with the goings on in the world of the 49ers.

So far this season, a total of 18 different players have been given the honour of representing the 3rd best team in the, globally renowned, London tri-team tournament (but the best team in the world renowned, one-off, London 20/20 match against Calypso CC), amassing a massive 43 caps between them.

‘Swiss Tony’ Bowdney, ‘Skip’ Cherrington and the newly crowned, ‘Stumpy’ Tonkinson are our most capped playaz’ with 4 a piece, whilst ‘Hammy’ Hamilton, James ‘the spin doctor’ Smart, Nick ‘JB’ Heath, Tom ‘TNF’ Partridge and Tom ‘so goddam manly’ Husband are all carrying 3 caps each.

Our next game is looking like the 23rd August and will most likely be our farewell game before embarking on our very own Tour De France. The EPO has been ordered, the train tickets are booked and we’ve all learned lots of rude French words. It’s going to be epic.

One final word of congratulations must go to our real captain and new father, Ed Hamilton.

After 9 months and 8 days, ‘Hammy’ and his wife, Frankie ‘can I have a cup of tea please’ Hamilton welcomed little Mylo Jamie-Jo Hamilton into the world. He weighed in at a massive 7lbs and 9ozs and is already nearly as big as our captain. He looks like a total dude and has secured his place in the side … replacing his dad (who he can be seen with in the picture below).


Mylo, on behalf of all the 49ers, this blog would like to welcome you to the world of cricket, chicks, beer, cigarettes and bottom slapping. In years to come, when you’re leading the 49ers you can say that you made your debut on this blog at the age of 107.5 hours. Respec’

Give a man a bat and he will most likely go out for a golden duck. Teach a man to bat and he may still go out for a golden duck but at least I tried to teach you muppets how to play. (Adam Taylor proverb)
