National village cup Rottingdean CC Semi final

[Silver flying chariot]

Rottingdean cricket club have got through to the Semi final of the national village cup competition yesterday (the F.A Vase of Cricket) beating Mistley from Essex away by 12 runs. This is the 7th game the club have played in the competition this season of which some have been very close.

The next game is at home to Dumbleton from Gloucestershire on Sunday 7th August at the Dean. The ultimate prize for the winners is a trip to Lords on the 4th September where the final will be played.

Be great to see s many people as possible along to come and support the boys in their quest for a place in the final at lords. Everyone can expect a warm welcome. Sure a bbq will be taking place with the bar open all day available for everyone.

Didn't a Sussex Cricket Club win last year's tournament?

Incidentally ... he owes his cricket career to me. I used to give him a lift to football training, but he was never ready. So he got an ultimatum - next time you're late, I'll stop taking you. And he was, I did, so he took up cricket instead, where he could walk to training.


And there is an excellent account of that day here:-
