Saturday morning headlines

HEALD LOOKS FOR BIG FINISH
-----------------------------------------------------
The sprightly but no spring turkey, John Heald goes under the knife on Monday for his 4th knee operation. As the expected recovery period is around 6 weeks his season would appear over. The "new" knee is forecast to have a life expectancy of 2,500 to 3,000 overs which should take him to 70 years old and close to retirement.

SKIPPER RETURNS FOR 3rd XI
-----------------------------------------------------
Captain Dave "The Pirate" Collins returns from 2nd team duty to resume leadership of the 3rds.
