Lavant VS Emsworth (H) 29/09/24

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…

Lavant VS Loafers (H) 01/09/24

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.

Lavant VS Clanfield (H) 18/08/24

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…

Lavant VS Droxford (H) 04/08/24

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…

Lavant VS Walberton (H) 28/07/24

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…

Lavant VS Grayshott (H) 20/07/24

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…

Lavant VS Ashling (H) 30/06/24

Lavant VS Ashling (H) 30/06/24

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…

Lavant VS Walberton (A) 23/06/24

Sunday 23rd June Match Report On the 23rd June something amazing happened……the English summer finally arrived! After a change in fixture the mighty Lavant travelled to Walberton on a warm day to play a 35 over game knowing it could be a tough game against a Walderton side stocked with young and fit cricketers.  However there can be no replacement for ‘experience’ and the Lavant side was bursting at the seams with ‘experience’ so the team remained calm and focused….
