A glorious May afternoon of cricket unfolded on the lawn outside Lufton Manor yesterday as teams from The White Horse, Manor Farm, and Lufton Manor took to the crease for a sun-soaked showdown worthy of the village green!
听
There were plenty of cries of 鈥淗owzat!鈥� and enough chatter behind the stumps to sound like a full radio commentary team was running the show.
听
With batting that ranged from beautifully timed shots to the occasional 鈥渙ops鈥� I meant to do that,鈥� there was plenty of effort and laughter from the crease throughout the afternoon.
听
In the end, Lufton Manor just edged the honours with 65 runs to Manor Farm鈥檚 57 , although there were rumours of questionable umpiring decisions and at least one batter claiming they were 鈥渄efinitely not out!鈥�
听
The real winner, however, was everyone coming together for time spent outdoors in the beautiful Somerset sunshine, teamwork and good old-fashioned cricket.
听
A huge thank you to Eiron and Debs for organising the match, with more sporting fixtures already lined up in the half-term calendar - the big question now is鈥� who will come out on top in the next sporting showdown?
