The Partnership

As the season draws to a close and Launceston Firsts edge closer to a remarkable promotion, the long-term feud between Rob and Mick is beginning to cause problems in the team. Rob is the club’s best wicketkeeper, and Mick the best bowler, but can they overcome their mutual dislike long enough to form a partnership that will take their club to victory?


The Partnership is a story about village cricket. As a result it’s packed full of cricket terminology. If you don’t know much about cricket then this story might not be for you. However, if you enjoy tales of simple heroism, you may find it worth a read.6
