Walking football

We have someone willing to sponsor walking football. Now we just need a coach and players, so do get in touch if you are interested or have some thoughts on how to make this happen. This is a fun and very social activity. When the playing field re-opens it would be great to have this activity ready to go.

Cricket

INKPEN CRICKET CLUB
Inkpen cricket team started their season in early May. Following the damp and gloom of April, the weather turned perfect for cricket, and we welcomed our friends from Urchfont, in Wiltshire, to the Pavilion. These games have been very close in the past and it looked that way again with Urchfont scoring 119/6 off their 30 overs. However, this year was different, with Inkpen chasing the total down within 16 overs for only 1 wicket being lost. A fine 50 from young James Hall supported brilliantly by John Donohoe.

Fresh from our victory, we welcomed Beehive, and confidence was high. This match was a little closer, but we ended up on the losing side. With Beehive scoring 180/4, Inkpen put up a great fight, falling short by 40 runs, scoring 138/7. Despite the loss, it was fine day of cricket. Next up, Hungerford Chancers. May continues to shine, giving us the excuse to use the recently purchased gazebo, kindly donated by the Crown and Garter, to provide some shade. Inkpen fielded first and were soon on top, taking regular wickets with the Chancers scoring 111/9 off their 30 overs. Following a beautiful English tea, Inkpen set about chasing the total which we achieved for the loss of 3 wickets in 20 overs, with Dave Lester hitting the second ‘50’ of the season. Two wins from three is a fantastic start to the season.
