With the sun shining and the hamper packed, WHAMmers set out for a relaxed evening of county cricket at The Oval. The Middlesex vs. Surrey match was sadly lacking in enthusiasm and energy, for which the crowd compensated; a ‘Beer Snake’ competition was soon established – who could stack up the most empties… Security guards were on high alert and darting around to halt proceedings, whilst the crowd boisterously cheered as the snakes were passed along to avoid capture. Entertaining for a time, perhaps not so much for those on who’s heads the precarious snakes eventually toppled, along with the dregs from ‘empties’ added by the more careless stackers in the crowd… Oh, and Middlesex won.
