Match Report After Ashling couldn’t raise a team the mighty Lavant had a change in fixtures that seemed to spook many a team member who lost their availability and left the Lavant captain (not for the first time this season) scrambling to find a team. Leaving it until the final hour an 11 was assembled and the team travelled to Fittleworth. The Lavant captain lost the toss and the home side elected to bowl first. Fittleworth looked hungry and with…
Match Report After briefly visiting home the mighty Lavant were on the road once more this time visiting the Amberley (and not to pick up some chalk). With the team arriving in the steaming warm condition at the start of a late June heat wave all eyes were on the Lavant captain who could be seen practicing his tossing alone in the corner of the ground. Perhaps a bad omen for the day as disaster struck in the morning with…
Match Report After being away for a number of weeks the mighty Lavant finally returned home like a company of men returning from the front lines. There had been bumps, bruises, aches and injuries but none of this was able to dampen the spirits of the committed men (many of whom had pulled out all the stops to be available to play this weekend, something I am extremely grateful for). As the Lavant skipper arrived at the ground, the early…
Match report On the road once more the mighty Lavant (who were starting to feel a little homesick) travelled to West Meon. Due to traffic the long slog to cross the county line into Hampshire took an age with the Lavant skipper taking note of the car thermometer slowly dropping as he approached West Meon. Upon arrival the temperature registered 15 oC and with the clouds grey and the wind blowing you could have been forgiven for thinking that you…
Match Report With a frustrating stop / start nature to Lavant’s season so far there was a renewed hope within the team that this weekend’s fixture was going ahead. You could tell that the team were itching for a game with the majority of them arriving early at Ebernoe’s ground (and before the opposition) raring to go. With the weather set fair (and surprisingly warm when stood in the middle) the Lavant skipper could be seen pacing around torn with…
Match Report This week the mighty Lavant welcomed our good friends from Lynchmere to the L’Oval for our first Saturday fixture, and as per tradition the Lavant skipper had to deploy the normal gentle reminders to his team mates about the different playing day….and as is also the tradition it brought forward many a joke and teasing in the group chat. As has been the case so far for spring 2026 much of the team were on weather watch yet…
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. After a successful period of indoor cricket and winter nets the mighty Lavant were stirring from their cricket hibernation. 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…
