Jubilee Cricket Match 2022

Mountfield’s first Jubilee Cricket Match was held on Sunday 7th August.  A great time was had by all and the weather was glorious.
The Mountfield Village Team won by 1 run with 1 ball remaining on 168 for 7, replying to 167-9 by Mountfield Cricket Club.  The winning run was hit by Tom Tidmarsh.
The Village Team was ably supported by Tony Manion and family – Ed, James, Billy, Albert and George.
We hope to make this an annual event, looking forward to Summer 2023!

Very many thanks to all to made this such a successful day, particularly Tom Tidmarsh
