Ode to the Over '70's

On Mistley's lovely little ground
A group of cricketers were found
Nothing new in that you say
But this had shades of yesterday

Two sides of men aged 70 or more
We really wondered what we had in store!
There was much talk of cricket matches past
When they were young and fit and could run fast

And some remembered things that others doubted
Of trophies won and oppositions routed

But when the game began we were impressed
That they could still give of their best
And in the end the honours they did share
The result? - a draw - and that seemed very fair
