Sunday 28th July saw our annual community cricket day take place.
Andy Davies’ side with Exeter Chiefs connections took home the Denise Lesniak trophy after a fun-filled day in the sunshine. Four well matched sides with a blend of youth & experience battled it out with the following results.
Results:
The Butterleigh beat the Club
Chiefs beat the Village
Chiefs beat The Butterleigh
Cricket Club beat the Village
Finished with a friendly match between a butterleigh/club side and the village
There were some fantastic performances, notably the youngsters from Butterleigh and the bucket hands of many of the Chiefs side. There were plenty of sixes on the shortened boundary.
