Dan Savident and his family set out early on Bank Holiday Sunday to walk from Yeovilton Air Base 17 miles away to arrive at Buckhorn Weston’s Charity Match in aid of HELP for HEROES.  They timed it perfectly, arriving to a Heroes welcome just as play stopped for tea.

 

They have raised over £700 and are still counting.  We’d like to make it over £800 by the end of September – please give your support via bmycharity.com/Yeovilton2BuckhornWestonCricketClubWalk.

Jim Donnelly the club’s Irish overseas player for the 2011 season has returned home after his time with the club.  He put in several standout performances in the field and shocked with his batting ability and searing pace.

Jim was sad to leave the club, but was excited by his future plans; saying of his time at the club:  “Cut Me and I Bleed Buckhorn!”

‘Buckhorn getting closer’

Buckhorn made a rare away trip to Horningsham with high hopes of a win, which is what they required if they wanted to keep their title hopes alive. Buckhorn arrived to the unusual sight of the Horningsham players rolling their artificial wicket (?!). The boundary to one side looked very short, whereas the other looks somewhat more substantial.

“Skipper’s maiden five-fer sees Buckhorn win international fixture”

Buckhorn set off from the pub at 9(ish)am to travel to Lymington ferry port to catch their 10:45 ferry to the island.  Everyone arrived at the port in time, however the need for bacon rolls almost resulted in the Dodds missing the ferry!  Once on the island Buckhorn made the pleasant drive across to Shanklin for their first international game of the summer.  The ground was quaint and a decent-looking pitch had been prepared.   Continue reading

Our 2011 Summer Ball  was held on July 2nd  –  a perfect summer’s evening  –  and was a great success.  The marquee was filled to capacity as was the dance floor.  After an excellent supper, we were entertained by the Larisa Russian Dance Group from Siberia who are the leading Russian amateur group and were in the UK especially for us.  They gave us a very colourful and energetic display with many changes of costume and tempo.  The dancing was to the Torn Off Strips, an Andover-based band who managed to keep us all on our toes.

Many thanks to all those who came and to all those who helped make the evening fun and successful.
