This year's match is timetabled to take place on Saturday 1st September at 2 pm at the Great Durnford cricket pitch. For those unfamiliar with the rules the match is intended for players that for reasons of age, sex, ability or agility are non-regular. Cheating will be rife, brilliance will be fleeting and the side of the valley that is home to the umpire - will win. At the end of June only two people had signed up for the match and it looks as if we will not be going ahead.

Just thought I would say hello to the Woodford community having moved into the valley back in June. My family and I have received nothing but a warm welcome from everyone we have met which has made our first few months here an absolute pleasure.

So thank you for popping in an saying hello.

regards

The Knights
