An esteemed crowd of current and past cricketers assembled at The Nevill Ground on 9th June to celebrate the 160th Anniversary of The Bluemantle’s. The Patron’s XI was accumulated from a notable band of lawyers, among others, with a high pedigree of cricketing talent. However, their 170 for 8 wasn’t enough to hold back the batting power of the Bluemantle’s, whose victory came with just 2 wickets down.
More on the scores to follow. In the meantime, enjoy the photos and the video of our President, Nigel Wheeler, explaining the history of the Club.
