Write a poem.	The players of HCC are on show for all to see at the Old Church Road Ground they perform in the round the Good, Bad and plain Ugly! The batting is usually Good, there's Gear, Moretons, Lloyd and Wood. They hit the odd four, the crowd shout for more but they don't get the runs that they should! The Bad comes in all shapes and sizes The legspin of Howel maximises the chance of the ball to the slips it may fall when it's dropped there are no great surprises! The Ugly is often on view between grounds in the avenue. Some of the third men give marks out of ten whilst Milne just shouts out 'Would You?!' M. Thompson 2004
