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

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.
