What better way to spend a long dry summer than out on the cricket field? The runs have flowed, both for and against us, and our won-loss ratio has been more-or-less balanced over the last six weeks. But who really cares about results? As the following testify, June and July have brought plenty of drama, no shortage of stories, and some creative reporting... 

 

We resumed after the North Devon tour with a comfortable win at Cheriton, as Rik reports.

Matt Hewson offers some Socratic reflections on the tea options as we hosted the jolly Ram Exiles.   

George Mather deploys haiku to capture another touring team game against Strongroom. 

The curse of Tale Millers was lifted, as Rik again reports.

Some bloke called Jon Beverley talks up his own contribution in a draw with our good friends Harberton. 

A famous anniversary at Ashburton inspired JK to get poetic, as Martin Weiler recounts.

And then JK got all lyrcial, in his Cure cover of our Friday game against Wednesday CC.

Our trip to Broadclyst inspired something rather more downbeat in tone from Mark H.

But a lovely Teign Valley Derby Day with Bridford restored our spirits, as Phil's joyful report shows.

A trip to quirky Branscombe saw runs galore, as Lee G reports.

And a hastily arranged home game against the touring Four Counties Nonentities turned into DHRUBA DAY, with JK detailing DJ's first ton.

Old frenimies brought about our downfall at Newton Pop, but as Anuj tells we were not too downhearted.

 

And coming soon, Martin Wright's report on a remarkable 147* - Rik Lindsay's maiden hundred - winning the Chairman's Cup game against the Mystics!

 

What a rich feast of cricket and company we've had already this season - and still over 20 games to go...
