Great atmosphere, loads of good natured banter with the Hampshire fans and a great game of cricket appreciated by both sides.

 

Sadly one muppet in the box next door decided to throw his pint off the balcony into the Hampshire faithful at the end of the match. 

 

Embarrassing the county, nice one d1ckhead. 

 

 

See the massive scrap at the end?

Leicestershire 2-0 Hampshire. My kinda weekend. 🥂

[Sir Shep]

Don't generally follow cricket, but hey the feck in! 

[Graceroad]

Fantastic win never in doubt

Be class to see Liam "didn't play in the group stage" Dawson get them over the line.

Don't forget Harry didn't either

That one is dedicated to the muppets at the ECB, and in a fair few punditry circles, who believe that lowly clubs like Leicestershire should be muscled out of the county format.

 

Wins like today annoy the same sorts of people who hated our Premier League win. Drink it in.

It's not often that City win by a bigger margin than County!

Or that we get a triple weekend with tigers, city and county. Shame about riders. 🤷

Saw the furious Hampshire lads leg it out of their seats but nothing beyond that, heard there was a fight but thankfully saw nothing of it, had kids with us.  

 

Totally unnecessary.

The Hampshire double is THE double, no?

Pubs in Leicester offering to Hampshire your spirit for just £1 extra tonight

Marvellous effort chuffed for them. Support was loud and proud. My sort of sporting weekend. 

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Absolutely amazing game, on a knife edge all the way through and some great performances from local lads, loved it

Shame Handscomb couldn't be involved

I’m enjoying Dagnall getting very ranting about the merit of the county system and counties such as Leics 

Him and Butcher are amazing at fighting the corner of the counties as well as what they’ve done for the women’s game in the media. I hope as a county fan Daggers is feeling happy tonight. 

[Staff]

So proud 

[Lionator]

What an amazing day and performance, it was never going to be the county way to do it easily. Whatever happens in the rest of their careers, Swindells and Evans will always have this day. Hull didn’t bowl well at all and yet still pulled it off in that last over which says a lot of his character, that’ll take him a long way.

It is but we all know he was instrumental in us being there.  Hope he has a few tinnies to celebrate.

To everyone on this thread, I love you. You utter ducking beautiful *****.

Imagine coming up with this embarrassing response. 

[Goober]

That was special. Fans were amazing and somehow the lads pulled it out the bag.

 

Buzzing!

[Stadt]

I’ve not caught up on 5 pages but the crowd got us over the line in that. Spectacular support. Leicestershire is a really special place 

[Stadt]

Guess which one I am  

[Harpenden Fox]

You guys in the Fox Road stand were immense. Fantastic support and made the day even more fun. Totally compelling sport. Swindells, Evans and Hull the heroes. 
 

Well done everyone. What a fabulous 24 hours on Foxestalk 🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊

Swindell’s parents were in the fox road - they were remarkably composed!
