For the second year we all gathered for this year’s Cricket fun day on Sunday 18th September at the Ditchling Recreation Ground. Despite the rather gloomy weather forecasts leading up to the day, the weather stayed mainly fine (even a few glimpses of the sun) with just a few drops of rain which failed to dampen or stop the cricket. This year we had 6 teams representing the three villages playing on a knock-out basis (as before) in a light hearted but sporting fashion, with each team playing at least two matches. Finally we were down to just two teams for the final clash; being a ‘highly skilled’ Vicar’s Invitation team against a well organised Ditchling CC team. Ultimate victory after a closely fought tactical match went to the Vicar’s Invitation team.
Father David gave a brief speech thanking everybody who had contributed to the successful and enjoyable day, and the Trophy was presented to the winning team’s captain. A prize for the best player during the Tournament was also presented. Again all those who took part or attended had a very enjoyable afternoon of fun, banter and fellowship.
During the afternoon the ladies of the Events Committee (and others) did a wonderful job in supplying delicious scones and cakes for the teams, to sustain them, and the many spectators. We would also like to thank the Cricket Club for the use of their facilities, and various people who contributed their personal kit to keep all the players well protected.
