Bowerchalke CC Season 1968 Season Summary

INTRODUCTION
Below is a summary of each of the games listed in the 1968-69 scorebook for Bowerchalke CC for season 1968. Key batting and bowling performances are highlighted, with scores of 50 plus and bowling 'five-fors' shown in bold text for both Bowerchalke and the opposition. Where the weather is described in the scorebook I've included that too (looks like it was a dull summer!).

There are some clear differences between the games actually played and those listed in the 1968 fixture card (e.g. the away game versus Cambridge is not in the scorebook nor is Courage, Reading presumably both cancelled). The Breamore game played on the 11th June was listed as being on the 8th June.
