FLADBURY CRICKET CLUB
· With the recreation ground temporarily closed to vehicles, and with parked cars causing chaos to through traffic last Saturday along Station Road, there was a similarly chaotic aspect to Fladbury’s cricket in their CH League match against Henley in Arden. The visitors batted first and posted a daunting total of 295 for 6 following the home side’s scrappy and undisciplined performance in the field. Set a revised target of 266 from 36 overs due to rain interruptions, Fladbury could only manage 182 for 8 despite another excellent 100 from Turner. It is very rare for any player to score 100 and to finish on the losing side.
The venue for Sunday’s game was changed with Fladbury travelling to Leamington. In a low scoring contest the hosts were bowled out for 128, Dave Harris being the pick of the Fladbury bowlers with figures of 4 for 23. In reply, half centuries from both Prudden and Turner managed to see Fladbury scrape home by 1 wicket with little contribution from anyone else – a victory all the same.
· Both of next weekend’s fixtures are away, with Saturday’s league match at Stratford Bards followed by a trip to Worcester on Sunday to play Old Vigornians.
· The next game to be played at Fladbury is on Thursday 5th August when we welcome our annual touring visitors from Penn Street to a 40 over contest starting at 2pm.
· There is still a call out, even at this comparatively late stage of the season, for any potential cricketers to make themselves known. The Club is still desperately short of players.

BUSES – UPDATE
An apology has been received from the manager of Tesco regarding the withdrawal of the concessionary bus service. It seems that passengers should have been notified but this did not happen. Basically, even prior to the pandemic, the service was unsustainable and a reprieve is highly unlikely. The provision of a community bus to allow shopping trips, or even possibly excursions, continues to be investigated. However we need to see a good number of people from Fladbury or our neighbouring villages who would commit to supporting it. You can register your interest with John Bolt (860768) or Jane Bugg (860531).
KIT DEADLINE – Wednesday evening
KIT CIRCULATION – around midday Thursday
