A Cricket Widow’s tale!
When James said he wanted to join the cricket team in Sherston I never realised how involved it would be for either of us. I loved the idea of him being part of a team and taking part in something so gentlemanly and perhaps naively thought a few hours a week wouldn’t be that intrusive. Five years later and James … Read More

CAPTAIN’S LOG
I’m now in the privileged position of leading Sherston Magna Cricket Club for another year- and what a year it is shaping up to be.

Indoor cricket
Sunday 20th October vs. Winsley Sherston won the toss in the opening game of the indoor season and decided to bowl. Some good opening overs and a wicket with Milo Morgan’s first ball meant that the opposition had a slow start. But after some very smart batting Winsley ended up 133-4 off their 10 overs. This meant that Sherston needed … Read More
Jarv’s junior jottings
With the winter truly upon us and Christmas in most people’s sights, talking turkey has been more on my mind of late than cricket.

On a cricketing note, it was great to see that we managed to play a lot more cricket than 2012 … Read More
