The bigger issue on show here is how poorly Croydon represent themselves currently.

Themselves, not County, but themselves.

From one of Surreys biggest leagues, you can't get a decent A team out that are commited and reliable.

No wonder people go off to play elsewhere.

At the recent Old Boys vs Current Interleague match, Croydon Interleague A couldn't get a full team out.

The Old Boys had players travelling from near and far, queueing up to get a game.

End result, a patched up current representative team got booted on the Friday, by players that were far more interested in having a craic and a beer than in winning.

And that is purely a Croydon problem, that has nothing at all to do with County or anything.

The only credit due to Croydon this year, was earnt by the team that almost didn't exist because of lack of support from those responsible for running Croydon Interleague, your B team, who turned up as a commited team unit for every game of the Interleague season.

I feel sorry for those that are genuinely commited to the Croydon cause, that have stuck by the team. The likes of Kellyfish and Kyle for example. I wouldn't be remotely surprised to see them playing Interleague elsewhere next year.

Apologies if it appears I'm digging Croydon out generally, I'm honestly not, CDPL remains my first love.

That's why it annoys me so much to see you mugging yourselves off.

Fact is Interleague was driven by you Danny, and to a lesser extent the reliable players like myself, Kellyfish etc,. You and I left, and no-one really took up the slack with the same level of commitment that you had previously shown.

Sorry, but fact as I saw this season as an onlooker.
