Lavant VS Westbourne (H) 03/05/26

Match Report With the mighty Lavant keeping a close eye on every weather report and radar they could cast their eyes on, the club Whatsapp was full of chat putting their faith into the ‘Groundosaurus Rex’ and a very early run out for TamsTarps ™ ! Thankfully (in classic British manner) the forecast of biblical weather wasn’t quite correct and the team arrived on the ground to be greeted by a warm spring day!  With many keen players from both…

Match Report With the long winter months concluded, Spring had well and truly sprung in the village of Lavant.

Feeling the sun and warmth on their backs the players arrived at the ground which was looking amazing from a top effort from the resident dinosaur in getting the wicket ready for the 1st game of the season. After a slight change…

Lavant VS Emsworth (H) 28/09/25

Match Report On a grey Autumn morning in September the Lavant skipper rose from his slumber to go through his pre game routine one final time for 2025. It had been a long season and he hoped that he (and the team) had enough in the tank for one final push to get over the line. Whatever happened today would not blot what had already been an unbelievable and historical season for Lavant and one that might never be bettered….

Lavant VS Singleton (A) 21/09/25

Match Report After a two week wait due to the foul weather which forced the first weekend game cancellation this season, the mighty Lavant were on the road for the last time. Autumn cricket can always be a bit dicey and with many of the team on weather watch all week they were pleasantly surprised upon arriving at the ground to see it bathed in beautiful sunshine. However the poor recent weather had clearly taken its toll with the ground…

Lavant VS Ferring (A) 07/09/25

Match report With the big weekend of the BBQ behind us the next game always feels a little like ‘after the lord mayor show’ which was highlighted with many of the Lavant players absent. It was a day for the Lavant skipper to shuffle his pack and dip into his squad. Stuck in traffic on the drive over gave the skipper time to think about the game ahead and the plan of action. Considered one of the great thinkers of…

Lavant T20 VS Physio AS (H) 19/08/25

Dark clouds loomed like a chapter out of Wuthering Heights. The South downs, looked more like the Yorkshire Moors. Earlier in the day the groundsman comprised of T rex, Muzza, Big D (Derek) and Tambo, were basking in the sunshine, preparing, watering and compacting the Hydrabad pitch, which was producing prodigious turn just a few days earlier. It must be noted that Lavant, does have the best village pitch out of all of the fixtures hands down, so many thanks…

Lavant VS Clanfield (H) 17/08/25

Match Report For the second time this season the mighty Lavant returned home after 3 weeks playing away fixtures. It was good to be home! After such a glorious summer the outfield looked short, the pitch looked ready after being baked in the hot sun, and the trees looked large and leafy. On another glorious warm and sunny day it felt like a good chance to trial playing 40 overs with the theory of giving Lavant’s abundant all-rounders a better…

Match report (written by Justin) Cricket returned for Lavant CC by the way of a midweek T20 against our friends from Chidham. Expectation was high as we had made this fixture, arranged food, been rained off, rearranged and then finally got the chance to play. The ground at Delling Lane was awash with sun and a cool breeze made it a beautiful evening to take on a game of T20. A healthy competitive edge had been added to the game…

Lavant VS Lynchmere (A) 09/08/25

Match Report With a heat wave rolling in, the mighty Lavant were on the road AGAIN, this time visiting the very picturesque location of Lynchmere which looked wonderful on a sun soaked and beautiful summer day. With the Lavant team assembling the Lavant skipper hunted down his opposite number looking to get stuck into the tossing procedure after regaining his tossing form. As seems to be a recurring theme a location of a coin was required by the opposition and…
