Bredon’s first big bash game delayed, but fun day goes ahead as planned
Bredon Cricket Club’s first game in the Bredon Hill Bash, the Twenty20 competition solely for clubs around the hill, has been delayed by a week.
It had been set for next Sunday (April 21), but will now be played on Sunday, April 28.
However, there will still be a game to enjoy next weekend: Bredon will take on the Crown, Kemerton, in a friendly at Hill Close, with play starting at 3pm.
The match coincides with the First of the Summer Wine, the club’s family fun day season curtain-raiser.
As well as a fast-moving game of cricket, visitors will be able to enjoy a barbecue and live music from the Malvern Hillbillies, starting at 2pm. An Easter egg hunt, for younger children, will also begin at 2pm. The clubhouse bar will be open throughout.
Members and non-members alike are welcome, and it will be a chance to renew memberships or join the club for the first time as a player or social member.
Bredon’s delayed big bash opener against Alderton Wanderers will be played at home on Sunday, April 28.
There will be a further big bash game at Bredon on Sunday, May 26, the afternoon following the Bredon Cricket Club Tower Run. Sign up for the run here.
Others matches will be played on Sunday, June 30; Sunday, July 28, and Sunday, August 18.
Finals day is scheduled for Sunday, August 18.
Unfortunately, bad weather put a damper on the culmination of last year’s tournament, but the 2017 finals day was a huge success, drawing visitors from around Bredon Hill.
The bash this year is being organised by Arthur Hayward, a long-standing supporter of the club, in the absence of Jake Denton, who devised the competition.
The competition comprises two leagues this year:
League A
Bredon
Alderton Wanderers
Elmley Castle
Fourth team (to be confirmed)
League B
The Crown
Birlingham
Overbury
Ashton-under-Hill
More fixture details coming soon once the final team have confirmed.
The league season at Hill Close opens next weekend (Saturday, April 20), with a tough fixture against Hagley Cricket Club.
Hagley were crowned ECB National Indoor Champions at Lord’s last season. Their First XI finished 7th in the top flight of the Worcestershire League but are competing in Division Two following the league restructure.
