Taking a final look back at an incredible 2022, a year that will go down as one of the best in our 176 year history.
Congratulations to everyone - whatever part you played in such a tremendous season.
25 years ago today these club legends won the Bristol and District League for the first time.
1997 was an incredible season, with the 1st, 2nd & 3rd XI’s all winning their respective leagues
Our thoughts are with Pauline, Zoe and Ian as we gather today to say our final farewells to Dave.
A true clubman who will be fondly remembered and always missed.
#superb
Our incredible grounds team have taken advantage of a few dry days to get out on the outfield and do the first cut of 2024!
Under 4 months to the start of the season!
A final celebration for the 3rd XI last night as they picked up the Div 11 promotion trophy. Received by leading wicket taker Rachel Le Poidevin.
Dan Thorne also collected his trophy for finishing the season as the leading wicket keeper across all 16 divisions of the B&D.
Just a reminder to everyone that when using the nets, you should use your own vector of the disease and not share it with anyone else
