Sunday 23rd June Match Report On the 23rd June something amazing happened……the English summer finally arrived!

Sunday 16th June Match Report On a warm (but windy) Sunday the mighty Lavant arrived at the ground feeling hopeful that the heavy rain and the stomping of many feet from the village fete had left the hallowed turf in a good enough condition for the game against Arundel Castle.

Sunday 9th June Match Report The mighty Lavant headed out for a long trek to the beautiful ground at West Meon (which did feel like it was in the middle of nowhere with Sat navs and directions testing the Lavant XI).  The Lavant skipper won the toss and, as it was a timed game, elected to bowl first to allow for both a win and draw to be on the table for Lavant in the second half of the game…

Snday 2nd June Match Report On a bright and sunny day the mighty Lavant travelled to the lovely ground at Ferring CC.

Sunday 19th May Match Report A patched up Lavant team (welcoming 4 debutants) arrived on a glorious, warm and sun soaked Sunday afternoon to welcome St Jame’s ‘Casuals’ (who turned out to be anything but).

Sunday 5th May Match report After a week of hope and teasing from the UK metoffice Lavant was expecting good things for the second game of the season and after a glorious saturday the day before woke up ready to go. However being a bank holiday it of course rained before the start of the game and with a chill in the air the enthusiasm levels were low.  Thankfully one man braved the weather to set up coverings over the…

Saturday 27 April Match report After a long and wet winter finally the first game of the new season was upon us VS Lynchmere at home. Although it would seem, based on the conditions, winter wasn’t quite ready to move aside just yet. Due to the terrible forecast it was agreed (in an effort to play some sort of game in the window available) that we would play a reduced over game (30 over a side with tea at the…
