Timsbury have gone to the top of the Bristol and District League Division 1 after a convincing 83-run home win over Portishead. For the second week in  a row victory was set up by an excellent opening partnership between Mark Sage and Greg Passingham. The latter batted with real positive intent and when he was the first out with the total on 93 he had amassed an impressive 57. Sage was his usual reliable self compiling 77 and although Timsbury lost a series of late wickets searching for full … [Read more...] about Timsbury cricket 25.05.2024

It was not a great weekend for Timsbury with all three teams defeated in the Bristol and District League followed by an early exit from the National Village Cup.  The first eleven made the short trip to Keynsham 2nd XI  in the Bristol and District League Division 1 and were defeated by 21 runs.

Timsbury began the new cricket season with an encouraging 26-run home win against Golden Hill 2nd XI in  the Bristol and District League Division 1. After the prolonged rainfall of recent weeks neither side found batting easy on a predictably slow wicket but in the end it was a comfortable win for the home side. Batting first Timsbury struggled to 78- 6 with only the ever reliable Mark Sage coping with the conditions to graft a workmanlike 31. The game then changed significantly when home … [Read more...] about Timsbury Cricket 4.05.2024:

Timsbury Athletic gave one of their most committed performances of the season  at home to league leaders Mendip Broadwalk in the Uhlsport Somerset County League Premier Division but in the end it was not quite enough.

At the other end Sam Harvey wasted a free-kick for the visitors while Ellis Hancock forced D’Arcy to save and … [Read more...] about Football 23.03.2024: Timsbury Athletic 4 Wrington Redhill 0

The visitors had rarely threatened for much of the game but they defended  resolutely and a late surge saw them over the line against a lacklustre Timsbury side. The first half was noticeable for few clear cut chances. Timsbury enjoyed the majority of the possession and after Ellis Hancock had just failed to reach Rhys Cook … [Read more...] about Football 16.03.2024: Timsbury Athletic 1 Nailsea United 2
