Our excellent club social Presidents day will take place on Sunday 28th August, with a Brexit or stay being the theme of the main match, so look out for a few surprises!
The day will start ay 9.30am with a terrier format mix of under 11s and 13s, 20 overs per side
The Presidents v Chairman’s t20 match will commence at approx. 1pm (currently 6-5 in the series to the President’s XI?) and the day will be rounded off with a mix of our under 15s and 16s taking on a parents XI in t20 match, at approx. 4.30pm, again to be captained by Jay Downton. This series is even closer at 2-2, so all to play for in this one. Will Jay end his losing streak? Will Brearley draw level with Bumper?
Other things to look forward to are a BBQ, Bouncy Castles (thanks to Paul Newman), an ice cream van (again thanks to Paul) and finally to round the day off in style a DJ from approx. 8pm. As usual the bar will be open from approx. midday.
