Match Report After their first loss of the season the mighty Lavant licked their wounds and dusted themselves off ready for the future challenges ahead. This week we were back on the road once more visiting Ashling for the all important ‘local derby’. On a ragingly hot day and the sun baking the ground, the Lavant skipper (who managed to arrive on time this week) was wondering if he could do the toss from the comfort of an air conditioned…
Sunday 29th September Match Report On a cold and windy autumnal Sunday in late September the mighty Lavant had been hoping that a break in the weather would allow for the final game of the season to be played out. Thankfully (after a LOT of rain during the last couple of weeks) Derek was able to resurrect the hallowed turf at Lavant and get the pitch and outfield into a decent enough state for a game to get underway. This…
Sunday 15th September Match Report After the previous week’s game had been rained off the mighty Lavant arrived to the ground basked in September sunshine looking hopeful to get a full day’s play in. The Lavant skipper lost the toss and DACD elected to bat, giving the opportunity for Lavant to try and make early breakthroughs and keep the total down to a chaseable amount. GAME ON. The team took the field with the skipper asking Justin and Chris to…
Sunday 1st September Match Report After nervously being on ‘thunder and lightning’ watch all morning the mighty Lavant breathed a massive sigh of relief that the day had turned out to be warm and sunny and perfect conditions for the annual BBQ day event. With all the planning and effort put in by Chris ‘John Maclean’ the village green was looking picture perfect. It was a great sight to see the Lavant team members (plus friends and families) pull together…
Sunday 18th August Match Report On another beautiful day in the village of Lavant the conditions seemed perfect for cricket. This week the mighty Lavant welcomed Clanfield and were looking to put behind the disappointing result of last weekend. After being caught off guard from an out of the blue debrief from a visiting umpire and his adjudicator the Lavant captain seemed to have even more to deal with than normal but headed over to the opposition skipper for the…
Saturday 10th August Match Report This week the mighty Lavant travelled to beautiful ground at Lynchmere and after their run of recent results were feeling confident. With the continuation of the nice weather it was looking to be a perfect day for cricket (unlike the previous fixture earlier in the season)! The Lavant skipper lost the toss and was asked to bat. The Lavant team assembled to strap on their batting pads looking to post a good score. GAME ON!…
Sunday 4th August Match Report With the mighty Lavant moving into the August fixtures another Home game was in the making. This weekend Lavant welcomed a very youthful Droxford to the village who appeared very keen as they arrived a good 30 minutes before most of the home side and gathered around the wicket where (one can only assume) to discuss their tactics and game plan and do some cricket drills. Lavant on the other hand decided to go with…
Sunday 28th July Match Report With the sun shining and the village looking resplendent on a warm summer’s afternoon the mighty Lavant welcomed Walberton. After a great win earlier in the season the home team were expecting a reaction from Walberton who undoubtedly were looking for revenge. As both sides arrived it did feel like a David VS Goliath situation with many of the Lavant players arriving more interested in knowing when tea was so they could get stuck into…
Saturday 20th July Match Report After a two week hiatus the mighty Lavant gathered at the home ground to welcome Grayshot on a very warm and muggy Saturday afternoon with the change of days completely flummoxing many of the Lavant players. If only we published the fixtures early so everyone could see them in advance….or send out a PDF for people to refer to….or have them all listed out in an app…we should look into that… Either way the players…
Sunday 30th June Match Report This week Lavant welcomed regular opponents Ashling however due to the the England football team kicking off at 5pm this week’s game took a rather funky approach with both sides aggreeing a format (which most didn’t understand) that allowed for this Sunday’s game to be completed in good time to meet the England KO. One of the agreements was to start at 12pm so with the Lavant players rushing to the ground clutching their teddy…
