During recent years the family has managed to get together a team to play a well-known cricketing family from another village in the Salisbury area (the Mouldings at South Newton). There have been three matches in total all played at South Newton.
These games are normally great social gatherings, with loads of people attending from both families and fantastic fun. Quite often of course Bowerchalke Cricket Club comes up in the conversations as quite a few people played for or against the village. So I thought it would be appropriate to post a couple of photographs here.
Game One - early 1990s (possibly August 1990)
The first picture is from the early 1990s comprising completely of players with the surname Gulliver. I think The Mouldings won this game. Do you remember any of these players?
Back row: David*, Kevin, Nick, Robin*, Daniel, Richard*, Steven
Front row: Brian*, Stuart, Keith, Nigel, Terry*, Derek*
* = played for Bowerchalke
Game Two - August 2006
The second picture is from 2006 where other members of the extended family have been added to boost the numbers (and add some potential runs to the total score)...there is one additional Gulliver as well. As you can see the older generation has all been boosted by a few extra pounds of blubber and become a little bit less hairy on top too. This game was a tie.
Back row: Mawgan Lewis, Nick, David*, Kevin, Robin*, Keith, Gordon Lampert*, Richard*, Tim Lampert, Alex, Brian*
Front row: Steven, Daniel, Andy Bundy, Jamie Bundy, Stuart
* = played for Bowerchalke
Game Three - mid-1990s (possibly May 1996)
There was at least one other Gullivers versus Mouldings game played in the mid-1990s, if anyone has any photographs from that game let me know! I'm sure there were some photographs taken that day but I don't seem to have any in my collection (it was on the late May Bank holiday I think because Stuart was still at Uni and missed the game because he had an exam the next day - a fine excuse). I think this game was a draw.
