Heyford Cricket Club – March 2019

The 2019 season is fast approaching. Winter nets at the County Ground are underway (every Thursday, 9-10pm all newcomers welcome!) and Darren Bastin and his team have already started pre-season work on the square.

This season the 1st XI will be competing in NCL Division 3. Captain Jimmy Edwards will have high hopes of mounting a promotion challenge after a strong finish to the 2018 season, and Rob Pardon will be cautiously optimistic about the 2nd XI’s chances in Division 8 after a memorable first season as captain.

We will also be entering the T20 Cup competition again, and re-entering the National Village Knock Out competition after a 9-year absence.

Heyford Bowls Club – February 2019

It is nice to report 2018 turned out to be a very good year for the indoor bowls section and good turnouts were maintained throughout the year. The afternoon bowls have recruited several new members so well done to the loyal supporters of afternoon bowls for creating and maintaining a very enjoyable afternoon bowling section.

The fun night on Wednesday 9th December turned out to be another hilarious occasion. A good turnout saw three very different types of games played. A good turnout produced by the new format turned out to be a very enjoyable evening.

2019 will see the start of another year’s bowling competitions. Last year these produced some excellent bowling. Competition was keen, making it hard to win a trophy. Our first competition (THE DAVE JULAND PRESIDENT’S CUP) will be played on Saturday 9th February, 1.30pm start.

Our two (WARDINGTON LEAGUE) matches resulted in a mixed bag. A loss at home and a win away at Middleton Cheney.

Thank you to all our members for making 2018 a successful and happy year for the indoor bowls section. Good luck to all our bowlers in the coming year.
