With the cricket season in full swing we look already to the upcoming Autumn/ Winter Sports. Rugby and Hockey Seasons will kick off in a matter of weeks and Game Set & Match are gearing up quite literally for the new season. Canterbury and Adidas Rugby boots are in along with clothing and kit bags. More to arrive soon from Asics, Optimum and Gilbert.
Hockey sticks are arriving thick and fast with Kookaburra and Zoppo leading the way. Lots of new products including lightweight hockey shoes in the shape of Adidas Kanadia TR3 and Kookaburra Aztec biting on the heels of Asics with their completely new range of high performance shoes. Sure to be on peoples wish list are the brand new Nano sticks from Grays and the Synergie sticks from TK are getting tongues wagging. Try them out at Game Set and Match in the hockey cage.
The Game Set & Match website will be updated soon with the new ranges or just drop in to the shop to get the hottest new products. With over 300 sticks to choose from August and September are the time to have your pick from all the range. Even if you are not buying now, you can sort your Christmas wish list early!!

If you have any specific requests of equipment or need a set of playing shirts for the weekend give us a call. There are special prices for attending teams on tour shirts, just call for more details.
The first bid for the Signed England Football Shirt has been made. £250 has been bid for the shirt that will be auctioned on the 30th June at Cowdray Golf Club for Macmillan Cancer Support. I am sure this is the first of many bids for a shirt autographed by David Beckham, Steven Gerrard, John Terry and many more England legends.
With England battling against rain and the Duckworth-Lewis system to stagger into the Super 8’s of the T20 World Cup, it is more like British weather than Caribbean blue skies and cocktails. One thing is for sure the Duckworth Lewis method is even more confusing than a Rubik’s Cube on a Roller Coaster wearing gloves. Well hopefully the weather will hold and we will get some meaningful cricket matches over the next few days.
With new Mongoose cricket CoR3 bats coming in, both junior and senior, the T20 specialist brand has gone very well this season. The Newbury B52 Bomber kashmir willow are arriving soon as new stock is landing from India.
I have just placed a top up order with Kookaburra, Gray-Nicolls and Adidas as stock has been selling through quicker than we expected. We still have great stock levels of all the essentials for cricket and have been creating team kits for many local clubs.
Good luck to England in the T20 World Cup as it continues.
