Details: This was the second year we have gotten together to play a game of 20/20 cricket in our armour. This is something that is not done anywhere else in the world, that no other sport has done either. Two teams of troopers in hard armour playing a sport. We are the originals folks.
Due to Cyclone Marcia we had to delay this event by 3 weeks. this caused a massive kerfuffle and scrambling to make this happen. Nothing like cancelling an event 2 days before. Regardless of it being a good reason. Nevertheless we banded together and made it happen.
Meeting in the middle of the field the captains gathered for the coin toss. The Emporer's XI won that and decided to send the Death Stars into bat.
The game was quite fast paced and started with a flurry of runs from Dredd "The Wild Thing" Gamorean. A slap dash 51 and he had to retire. Apparently sweating out 18 litres of water slows you down. That and Dredd had to empty out his suit as he was swimming at that stage. UGH!!
Cutter (36) also suffered a first in the cricket world. He was given out to a CBW (Cape Before Wicket). That will teach him to be flashy. NO CAPES!!!!
From there wickets fell and runs scored with the Empoer's XI keeping the Death Stars to 115. Was this to be enough?.....Well no.
The Emporer's XI were only able to reach 95 in their 20 overs. A slap dash 13 from Doc and well slogged 29 (retired hurt) from Cobra, out the team in good stead. However with the captain getting out for a duck things looked a little grim. Bullant became the second victim of the pitch and the wickets were tumbling. Apok tried to make a stand with a solid 38, but in the end the numbers got the better of the Emporer's XI.
Congratulations to the Death Stars for the win two years in a row.
Charity Funds Raised: So far $3681.00 beating last year by over $600.00. we may get some more donations over the next couple of days via the PSD donation link.
Injuries / Malfunctions:
Cobra ate the dirt tripping. Busted shoulder and cracked butt plate.
Bullant decided to copy Cobra. Chest plate to the throat, cracked cod, busted bicep.
Numerous armour bites.
Slight heat stroke for a few.
Public Incidents:
Many people sitting around with undone trousers due to all the food that was on hand.
Mission Status:
Complete and utter success. This year was a good "suck and see". We will be working with the P&C closely again to learn from any that could be done better.
Photos:
Plenty to come.
A massive thanks to:
My bestie for this event Mammasith. Without her dogmatic approach to just get people to do what she wants this event would not be as big as it is nor as well organised. Mammasith is the driving force behind this event. With Madamsith and Sara they got everything up and running and working like a well oiled machine.
To the Pink Ladies (and a couple of Pink Lads as well). Giving up your time to run the food stalls and raffle so we troopers can play silly buggers on the field.
Tirilia and Candi Bear for their baking and manning the cake stand for the entire day. That was awesome.
To all our wranglers that came and helped. Without you we could not play the game. You help us look good on the field.
To every trooper that put on the armour to play.
Basically the entire team. This is an event that is not only to help a worthy charity, but to have some fun. We are a group of knuckleheads that like to dress up as awesome characters from a great film franchise. Some do it for the costuming. some do it for the charity. Some just want to meet like minded people.
The Redback Garrison prides itself in not only a high standard of costuming, but also for being a group that wants to help each other and just have fun in a very odd and fun hobby. This event shows, how we as a Garrison, work together and just have a good time. It is all about having together as a group.
I hope you all had as good of a time as I did and to see you all next year.
Cheers
