Erratics Cricket Club News story


Hot streak

13 Jul 2026

After playing just 7 games in the first month of the season, we have now played 21 in the past two! It has been a veritable glut of cricket, with a suitably Erratic mixed bag of results, even including a tie at Ide! This round-up is admittedly a bit overdue, so there are plenty of reports to be enjoyed. Why not play a bit of Match Report Bingo as you go, and see just how many mentions of hot weather and 'cricket was the winner' you can count...
