You are under starter’s orders for another great night out at Bredon Cricket Club.

We are hosting an exciting evening of racing at our Hill Close clubhouse on Saturday, July 2.

You will be able to stake money on the outcome of recorded races played on a large TV screen. The selection is purely dependent on chance. There are no odds or form to complicate your selection.

The evening’s organiser is a firm that specialises in this sort of event. It brings along all the equipment needed, including eight recorded races, betting slips as well as an experienced master of ceremonies.

There is a proper commentary with each race, and numbers appear on screen to show the audience the position of their horse as the race progresses.

Our bar will, of course, be open throughout.

It all makes for an evening that re-creates the thrilling atmosphere of a visit to the racecourse, and will be a valuable boost to the club’s coffers.

Admission is free, non-members are welcome, and the fun gets under way at 7.30pm.

Heat is on as league championship goes to the wire

Bredon are within touching distance of the Evesham Indoor League championship. Picture: ECB

Bredon play Ashton-under-Hill next week in a game that may settle the Evesham Indoor League championship.

The side need to win to be certain of the title.

Failure could let in Dumbleton, who play their last game of the league against Stanway Boxmen. If Dumbleton were to win they would then clinch the title with a superior batting average.

If both Bredon and Dumbleton lose, Ashton or Alcester and Ragley have an outside chance of finishing top.

The league winner goes on to play in the county finals at 6.30pm on April 17 at RGS Worcester.

Can you lend a hand in looking after our pitch?
