Match report
After a superb barbecue put on by Robin Rogers and family, the Grannies batted first, on a showery day, and everyone who batted made double figures! It was good to see Michael Bluett (11)opening the batting. Scotty top scored with 44 ably assisted by Irving (28)and Knight(33*)among the other scorers. We made 189 for 5 of the 35 overs.
After a splendid tea, this is a fixture to be recommended for its cuisine, Tarbarrow batted and were in trouble almost immediately thanks to hostile bowling from Tom Gibbs (2 - 20)and Paul Knight (3 - 34)who removed the first five batsmen for 35 runs. Harry Yeates (2 - 17) was among the other wicket takers as a come back was staged by Tarbarrow, but with wickets falling at regular intervals they eventually succumbed before the rain to 107 all out. R Rogers (8*)

How to get there
The Multi Map link below shows you both the map and an aerial view of Cirencester - the conventional route to Ciren from London is M4 to Junction 15, A419 past Swindon (indicated as A417, the dual carriageway on the map) to Cirencester, turning off next after the Cirencester Industrial Park turning, at the junction signposted Cirencester/Stow. L off the roundabout down to the roundabout outside Cirencester, turn R off roundabout onto the remains of a dual carriageway (the cricket ground is out of sight on the ridge above the dual carriageway to the right - you can see it as a lighter patch on the aerial view). Turn R at the traffic lights, The White Way. After rugby grounds on the R for 400 yards, turn R into private drive, follow the drive round to the R alongside the �big hoos� on the L and at the L hand bend go straight across down a wooded track signed Tarbarrow CC. Follow the track to the L, up a slope, and round to the R, pheasant pens on the R and you emerge from the woods at the corner of the ground. Cross along the boundary and park behind the pavilion.
