Barrington Sports Partnership and Competition

First topic message reminder :

Cricketing folk

We are pleased to announce a partnership with sports retailer Barrington Sports. As you may or may not already know, Barrington Sports are a leading online Sports Specialist focusing on cricket, hockey, rugby, running and netball products.

Spoiler:

You will notice a permanent 'sticky' thread that will be added to the cricket section in the coming days, which will contain details of the latest deals, offers and products available from Barrington Sports, and will be updated on a regular basis.

The timing of this partnership should be perfect for you to purchase any sports related gifts in readiness for Christmas. Likewise, should the cricketers amongst us be on the lookout for any new gear ahead of this coming season, Barrington Sports have a whole range of equipment and clothing available, including new 2012 cricket ranges from all the top brands.

To launch this venture, Barrington Sports have kindly agreed to hold a competition for one lucky 606v2 member to win a new cricket bat - a Puma Kinetic 5000 (pictured) - RRP £260.00.

Spoiler:

Given their name, and the relation to cricket, we are going to hold a caption competition featuring a former Surrey and England legend, the great Ken Barrington. We are looking for a caption satisfying any one or more of the following criteria: humorous, witty, original.

The following photograph of Ken Barrington ducking to avoid a baton wielding policeman that is chasing an Indian fan at Bombay in 1961 will be the subject of your captions.

Incidentally, Barrington went on to make an undefeated 151, so it can't have shaken him up too much!

Spoiler:

Please note that each participant can submit a maximum of three captions, which are to be written within this thread.

A winner will be chosen by the Barrington Sports team on Wednesday 7th December, so all captions must be submitted prior to stumps at 9am that same morning in order for your submission to be eligible.

Good luck, and hopefully you'll help support our partnership with Barrington Sports by taking a good look around their site and purchasing any items you may require.

Aye, a lot of though went into many of the captions. Well done to all.

Yep sorted FoF. Thank you too for all your hard work with the partnerships and this site, much appreciated.

Well done skye - a bit annoyed though, been spending the last day deciding on which neighbours I'd be threatening with my new £260 cricket bat.

Well done Skye (and hard luck Fists - we can at least bask in the reflected glory .) And a bonus point to Guildford!

Thank you Galted.
