Cricket score Members of Downham Cricket Club could not have wished for a better day for their annual “double wick et” competition.
Double wicket cricket is regarded as the most exciting form of the game. Designed to be fast and often big scoring, batsmen are drawn in pairs who bat out a whole innings of two overs. Should a wicket be lost, the batsmen is not out but runs are deducted from the total score. Each of the two players must bat and bowl for an innings of two overs, with nine other regu lation fielders.
It is an e.xciting and exhilarating contest that is always highly regarded in the crick et club’s annual cal endar.
Over 20 club regulars turned out to support this yearly event ably supported by a wel come crowd of family, friends and visitors to Whalley Cricket Club’s ground - their temporary Sunday home.
Chairman Peter Coultherd officiated over proceedings, having organised the
event this year. The glorious summer weather made the first round speed by with some great high lights from the field ing players.
After the tea interval, the competition started to get com petitive, with family members playing against each other and the growing crowd becoming more vocal.
The final round was between Downham’s captain, Paul Walms- ley teamed with the ever-enthusiastic Richard Briscoe play ing against Andrew Lambert and Andy Bicknell. After losing the toss, Walmsley and Briscoe went into bat and finished on minus 11 after some courageous fielding. The pressure was on and some magnifi cent bowling meant that on the last ball the bowlers needed to take a wicket to win.
Winners were Lambert and Bicknell snr. They wore presented with a cricket trophy each to mark the event in this. Down- ham’s 125th year of village cricket. Run ners-up prizes were presented to Walms
