Those who managed to make it to the photographic exhibition in the village hall as part of Sherston Arts Festival will have been reminded of summer, not only by the outstanding exhibits in the competition, but the remarkable collection of cricket photographs taken by local amateur photographer Nick Burridge. Nick followed the junior and senior sides during the 2013 season … Read More

The season is well and truly over and the ground has been put to bed, but the club does not sleep after what was a tremendously good season from all facets of the club. There have certainly been plenty of personal highs and lows many of which were captured in Nick Burridge’s fantastic photo exhibition in the village hall. These … Read More

The school holidays have arrived and with that some wet weather after a fantastic June and July. We have had almost perfect cricket weather with all but one game in the Under 13 league played. All practices have been well attended except the last two which gave way to the wet weather, but in all a very pleasing season from … Read More

A great day which is intended to raise money for the club but also provide a great Saturday’s entertainment! Cricket is not the only reason to come down. There will be a BBQ run … Read More

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

Well over half the season has gone and all seems to be going well. The Saturday side are top of the league, the Sunday boys are having good competitive cricket achieving great results and the Junior set up seems to be going from strength to strength. To continue this progress the practice facilities at the ground need some updating and … Read More

I can trace my train of thought, which has since snowballed in to a full mid-life crisis, back to the first game of the season this year… a friendly against Chipping Sodbury. It was impossible not to notice the difference having a few under 20’s made to our team, both in terms of the energy levels generally and certainly the … Read More
