Result - Demijohns

Sat Jun 26th Grannies lost by 23 runs

Match report

A match official who's performance was questionable at best; a team packed with talent that failed to perform to its potential; and a result which bordered on abject. Not in fact England v Germany in the World Cup but Grannies v Demijohns in Oxford.

This is a game that the Grannies really should have won but in classic Grannies fashion we contrived to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, primarily through poor batting, along with the occasional good ball.

So enough of the game, let's focus on what went well. Absolutely first class facilities, a sumptuous lunch and tea (which could have fed about 40) and faultless weather all added up to a thoroughly enjoyable day. No need for sledging as the oppo sledged themselves and so all that can be done is look forward to next year and re-establishing the natural order of things.

How to get there
Travelling north on the Woodstock Road in Oxford the turning to the ground is on the left hand side after Frenchay Road and before the turning for Lathbury Road on the right. The ground is hidden behind the houses so the entrance is a small lane between 2 of these houses. If you get to St Edwards School on the Woodstock Road you have gone too far. If you turn the map to a satellite picture you can see the ground to the left of the pointer.
