“Start with a catchy headline”… The age of MoanI
“If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine” During the off-season, our resident antipodean James ‘Moany’ Mahony has evidently done a stand-up job in rebooting the King’s Road website. Bright orange colours, self-scrolling media content, and an unacceptable yet grimly predictable plague of Cam Green content. But how…

Message in a bottled: the one that got away
In a land that time forgot, where the grass remains green & Pints are south of £5, the Road found themselves once more preparing to enter the field. Abinger Hammer felt a world away from the straw, dust & concrete that adorn the pitches of south London. A popular fixture on the calendar, this Saturday…

The Lost Sea Scrolls: Slime and Length
Toss Win: Chewbacca who elected to bowl Weather conditions: Overcast with high humanity and a moderate breeze Start time: 2pm sharp. It was at this time the opening pair of Brown and Moany commenced the game. Browny bowled exceptionally for a spell of four overs, four maidens for 1 wicket. His wicket was the critical…
