It's the return game, the Southern Softies won their home game, but will the Naughty Northerners clinch this final battle to be crowned champions?!
Come for the final rounders social of 2023!
Who doesn't enjoy an afternoon in the park playing rounders with friends. Of course, there's always some sort of competition when it comes to any sport....even rounders. Come along to meet other GG members from across London for a picnic and a social rounders game between GG members from north of the river against GG members south of the river (we're not strict about this and if one team need more players, we can "loan" them for the afternoon PLUS don't forget we may have non-GG friends).
This is the "Away" game. As I mentioned, there was a first "Home" game on Saturday 17th of June in Clapham Common where the Softies won!
TLDR
Don't know how to play?
Firstly, we welcome all! Just because there's a "North vs. South of the river" narrative, it's all for fun...no one is winning any medals or prizes. If you haven't played before, not to worry, the majority of us have forgotten the rules, so the written rules are here and there is also a video. I'll explain the rules again on the day. In summary: it's a no-fuss version of Baseball.
Basic rules: We will be playing
Can I still come if I can't make the start?
Have other commitments earlier or like to be fashionably late? That's fine. It's all social, so come and go as you please! We might start off with a practice hit around before our "socially competitive" game. If the rounders is all over by the time you arrive, just come and chill with a picnic. I'm sure a few of us will stay until the sun starts to set.
Hope to see you there!
