We went along to the game for five hours to watch the “action” and were amazed at the age range of the players (from 13 to guys in their fifties), the game was played at a lovely small ground with your typical church spire visible in the background.
Some “spectators” leaving the scene early.
Ball in flight action.
The game ended in a losing draw, do not ask what that means as it would take me far too long to explain the scoring system. Thanks to D for these great photos.

Nice photos. :)
It is nice to see a sport where young and old(er) can take the field together and learn from each other.
I'm sure there are worse ways to spend a beautiful day.
rt. The kid about to catch the ball in the first photo was about 13 and bowled 5 very good overs - he was knackered after that though. The only thing missing from the day was a couple of beers - bad planning there.
Could have been worse: You could have been a certain polo match watching streakers. heh. :)
rt, that ground is around 15 mins drive from DBA cottages - but I would not attend even if they offered to pay me.
