After electing to bat first Lansdown got off to a good start with Bowery … [Read more...] about Timsbury cricket 24.08.2024

By the barest of margins a much-changed Timsbury side suffered an agonising one-run defeat at home to Lodway in the Bristol and District League Division 1. It was a game where both sides failed to capitalise on good starts but in the end a crucial knock of 46 from Joe Rowsell proved to be the significant contribution. Batting first the visitors put on 48 for the first wicket before imploding to 70-7 thanks principally to Jon Strand who took an inspired 6-21. Rowsell then took centre stage and … [Read more...] about Timsbury cricket 3.08.2024

After batting first Keynsham were sailing along nicely at 86-2 with Gwyther (41) and Johnson (26) well settled.
