Well we left Sherston on what seemed like a very pleasant spring day. But by the time we had reached the Oakridge ground, this year without to many detours, it could only be described as a two jumper day. After a very convincing win the previous week confidence was high even after we had lost the toss again. Sherston were … Read More

Cricket got started at Pinkney park last weekend good and proper with a good run out verses  a decent chipping Sodbury side. A sunny day looked like it was destined to be spoiled due to someone who shall remain nameless (well let’s call him Andrew J for anonymity) put the wrong lock on the outside of the pavilion and took … Read More

Sherston batted first and made a solid start with Matt Goodwin retiring in the 4th over with 25*. Some quick-fire scoring from the next few batters, continued the good start and we ended up with an impressive score of 109-4 off 10 overs. Unfortunately due to inconsistent bowling and good batting from Bradford, they managed to reach the total with the loss of 3 … Read More

An all too common problem for village sides, but when it starts to affect larger clubs like Malmesbury it’s a telling reminder of the state of … Read More

The story so far… In issue 4 the Sherston Magna had sailed through it’s first 8 games, winning 6 and having 2 abandoned and we were marginally top over Poulton. In principle the only thing that has changed is that our unbeaten record has gone, as has Poulton’s; both teams losing to Avening and Cherington in the last month, with … Read More

The format consists of a game of 10 overs per side and is completed in approximately an hour. The league consists of 8 teams … Read More
