Spring Lane is waking up after its winter slumber! First rolling of the square completed – 3 to go. Outfield looking good but a few millimetres to go before we are at playing length.

Lidgate and Ousden Return

Hare Street run away with it
Some powerful hitting was on display last Sunday from the Hare St & Hormead middle order and there are now seven (or eight) more cricket balls hiding around the edges of Grantchester’s Spring Lane Field than at the beginning of August…

Players and Gentlemen
Not certain who won this but the Gents sure looked handily placed when ‘dinner’ called. The Players’ innings was notable for…
