Spare a thought for cricket secretary Chris Dean who suffered a
painful experience prior to the weekend�s fixtures after an
attack by a cat at his Cullompton home. The injuries were not
quite enough to keep him at the pleasure of the local NHS
Hospital but they did require treatment, which left him unable
to hold a bat or indeed drive a car. The "Mad Moggy" was a
house cat that used to share the Dean�s Cullompton residence
until doing a disappearing act a year ago only to suddenly
return late last week when, in the best time-honoured tradition
of Alfred Hitchcock tales - the cat set about Chris in such a
way that he definitely came off second best - a paw loser! That
is a terrible line - shoot the author!
A happy footnote, Dean was able to celebrate the confirmation
of his Sunday side being the North Devon League Third Division
titleholders as the injuries did not prevent him lifting a
champagne flute! |
