The Barford Hare finally roars at Kineton
Barford notched up our first win of the season in a very enjoyable game against Kineton. It was the first time that we’d played them since the distressing events of “Cobbgate” and a quick inspection of the wicket showed that the blood stain is now barely visible. Kineton fielded a very youthful team, whose combined…

A new season underway at the fifth attempt and a new opposition in the form of Marton – which was convenient for your correspondent as it’s only 10 mins down the road from my house! Major congratulations to our hosts for getting the game on at all but Chris O’s tactical toss loss meant we…
