Purton post 112 all out and Sherston struggle to 70 in response. Hurricane Hannah raised the curtain on Division 5 of the 2019 Wiltshire County Cricket League at Pinkney Park. Strong winds had removed the covers during the night and allowed significant precipitation onto the strip akin to the uncovered pitches of old. Newly promoted Sherston welcomed back three familiar … Read More

So it came down to the last game of the season, we needed a big win against Heytesbury & Sutton Veny and we needed Hinton Chaterhouse to lose to Bradford-on-Avon. We did our part… but Hinton also won convincingly meaning we fell 13 points short of promotion to Division 5. Our biggest win of the season was set up perfectly … Read More

It was a game of two halves – well either side of a game of football. Sherston Magna will have been reasonably satisfied with their performance before the football break but rather disappointed with what happened after. Ben Dickenson captaining in JKs absence invited Burbage and Easton Royal to bat on a gloriously hot day (like many others this year). … Read More

On what was probably the hottest Saturday afternoon of the year so far, the Heytesbury & Sutton Veny 2nd XI captain called tails and to the delight of the Sherston players it came up heads. It was going to be a tough afternoon for whoever bowled first – the Pinkney Park pitch looking in prime batting condition, the outfield likely … Read More

This weekend brought about a top of the table clash for us with (an unbeaten) Buscot Park at their very picturesque ground. Jk got off to a good start winning the toss and electing to bowl. Andy Pegg opened up strong, and much to everyone’s surprise, Andy Tremellen took to the other end! Buscot Park got off to a slow … Read More

Back to winning ways… On a less than beautiful mid-June afternoon Sherston Manga hosted Beckington’s 2nd XI and with captain Kutchera winning the toss Sherston took to the field. Beckington started well, gathering 14 runs from their first 5 balls however the 6th ball was Pegg’s first wicket of the day and was the start of the Beckington collapse. Pegg … Read More

With the captain’s WhatsApp plea, we dusted down the little black books (contact list on your … Read More
