After hacking Tim's phone the Strollers webmaster has discovered that Captain Tim Sturm (pictured) cut a lonely figure this week as, despite his best efforts, he failed to raise sufficient numbers for the annual Chippenham jaunt. Ironically, in the face of recent deluges, we are assured the pitch would have been dry enough to permit play. However, fans of this traditional fixture will get a second chance when we are scheduled to revisit them in July for a bacchanalain extravaganza. In the meantime, it's off to sunny Totteridge this Sunday for our regular smackdown against the Highgate Irregulars.
