Pitch Battle

Friday night saw the worst case of vandalism in the 194 year history of the Club. The hallowed turf on the square at the Field of Dreams had been dug up. This was a systematic approach to make the entire square unplayable, with both ends of every strip on the square littered with craters and divots.

The First Team's final league game of the season had to be re-routed to Clifton, but of more concern was the threat to Monday's 2020 Club Day. An emergency working party, boosted by tea and cakes, spent Sunday morning helping Groundsman Mick White to replace turf and fill in divots.

A new pitch for the 2020 was prepared in a divot free section on the middle of the square at 90 degrees to the usual direction.

Thanks to everyone who gave up their free time to lend a hand, and especially to Mick for helping us to put right the damage. Rumours were already circulating as to who might have caused the damage ....... !!!!!!!!!
