Stoodleigh Fun Cricket Match
Stoodleigh Cricket Team - Stoodleigh Inn Team - 12 September 2021
A huge thank you from all of us at Stoodleigh Cricket Club to all those who came and enjoyed the fine weather and quality (?) cricket at the ground on 12 September, followed by a wonderful evening at the Inn.
Stoodleigh CC narrowly beat a strong Inn side in front of a record crowd. The event raised over £500 which is urgently needed to repair and replace the ageing ground machinery that we use to keep our lovely pitch in its current condition - regarded as one of the best in the area.
Particular thanks to Lizzie and her family at the Inn, the hub of the cricket club and the community, who organised the day and worked hard to make it a success. We look forward to the return match next year.
