Anarchists Vs Capitalists

The Midnight Cricket Cup is an irregular competition taking place in the City Of London between the Space Hijackers (anarchists) and the workers of the city (Capitalists). Each game begins with the Hijacker team, in full whites entering a pub packed with pinstripe wearing, rolex flashing, platinum card waving city boys. Soon enough our attire and general demenor tends to rouse the attention of the bankers, and before long a chest puffing alpha male will approach us.

“What’s all this then, are you a cricket team or something?’
“Well yes, were the anarchist cricket team”
“the what?”
“The anarchist cricket team”
“What are you doing here?”
“We’ve come to play the dirty capitalists in the midnight cup”
“Play who? Who’s your opposition?”
“Well, you’re the captain of them, you tell us”
And so it begins…

This night was no different, the Globe pub is just around the corner from Moorgate tube, bang in the square mile. Alongside the usual crowd of post work drinking bankers, were a group of men in top hats and tails who’d just been to the races at Ascot.
