Bowerchalke CC Fixture Card 1965

Looking at this fixture card and comparing it to the one from 1963 there are some similarities with local villages Great Durnford, Breamore, Little Durnford and Fordingbridge included again. Agrarians, Poole Old Grammarians, Old Parkstonians, Wiltshire Queries and Poole Municipal Sports are there too.

'New' opponents in 1965 are Reading Brewery (sadly at home), Ellingham (in The New Forest), Andover Banks and Godshill (also in the New Forest, hand-written in).

Interestingly, Broadchalke and South Newton have 'disappeared'...had League Cricket started in Salisbury by then perhaps?

Note that on 5th June Bowerchalke were playing Trinity College Cambridge (The "Tom Tits") away!

From our perspective it would be really great to hear from anyone at these cricket clubs who might still have scorebooks containing details of these matches. We'd love to hear from you, feel free to drop us an e-mail at: bowerccmem@btinternet.com
