News about our evening’s activities –including pictures

Tuesday 24th June 2025 Circle Cricket Goes like Clockwork . . .

A quick explanation of how to play :-

Form a circle around the pitch starting from the wicket with the bowler central to the ‘clock dial’, each batter receives one over (6 balls) to score as many runs as possible without being bowled, stumped or caught. After their one over they move around the clock one position into next fielder, bowler, batter position – the wicket keeper is the next to bat.
