A Match In Progress At Bowerchalke CC In The 1960s

Our mum produced this photograph out-of-the-blue one day!

It's actually tiny in size and this is a blown-up version but it's come out really well, I hope you agree!

You can see the wonderful tree-lined field, a sitescreen, a heavy looking roller and to the right of the roller that's where Grandad Gulliver used to stand just before tea.

Note also the fence surrounding the playing area (remember the cricket field was in the middle of a working field on the farm).

The umpire's stooped stance is quite something, don't think you'll see much of that in village cricket today.

We don't recognise any of the players unfortunately but maybe you do or perhaps you have some photographs yourself that you'd like to share. If so drop us an e-mail at bowerccmem@btinternet.com
