Three days, four sports and one highly suspicious dessert stand. George Sixes moves into York High School from 27 to 29 November: six-a-side cricket and hockey on the fields, with golf at Kingswood and padel at Virgin Active. Five-over innings, short boundaries and the Outeniquas watching every shot.
The motive
Saturday is round-robin day, so there's cricket on every pitch and a reason to stay all day. We'll be on the sidelines from 08:30 with all three usual suspects. Original Sin is fresh strawberries smothered in silky Belgian chocolate, easy to eat between overs. Dubai Did It is the inside job: a pistachio-kataifi filling and crushed pistachios hiding under the chocolate. And when the sun gets serious, Squeeze & Tell is our sweet, tangy homemade strawberry lemonade, served ice-cold. If you're playing, call it recovery.
Pia's tip-off
We're there on Saturday 28 November from 08:30. Finals are on Sunday.
Spectators get in free and parking is free, so you have no excuse.
Best alibi on a hot day: a cup in one hand, an ice-cold Squeeze & Tell in the other.
There's kids' entertainment across the grounds, so bring the whole crew.
