The scores are in and it's good news for the grounds' team as the square at our main ground in West Chilt has been ranked the fourth best in the county! This is high praise indeed and is well deserved recognition to Jim and team for their heroic efforts over the course of the year.
The awards are done through a scoring system where panel umpires in the top four divisions (60 teams) score each ground out of 20 in various categories.
Our Thakeham ground can't be scored unfortunately because no Division 4 or higher cricket is played there, therefore we don't have panel umpires in those games, but we're sure if it were to be included it would rank well, especially considering how young the square is.
Without our groundsmen we would have no cricket. They work long hours, purely as volunteers, for your benefit. So please, if you see one of these gentleman at the ground or at the bar be sure to say thank you..... and well done.
