Sadly, this is the final fixture card of the old Bowerchalke CC, well at least that's what we thought! Update on 8th September: the final season may well have been in 1974 not 1973. Our Mum and Dad have spoken to Gordon Lampert who recalls winning the single wicket competition in...1974! And has the tankard to prove it! So that means that there is another fixture card out there somewhere too. Compared to 1963 and 1965 there has been quite a bit of 'movement' in the opponents listed but one or two familiar names are still there (e.g. Great Durnford, Breamore and Wiltshire Queries) and a few 'new' ones too. It was good to note that Broadchalke CC was listed again (absent in 1965).
Additions include: St. Giles CC, Porton, Bishopdown, Fovant and Amesbury. Trinity College Cambridge is still listed and a Single Wicket Competion has been added on August 11th.
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
