It’s that time again! welcome to the new season and the first game of the year and with that, we require the first write up of the season… I, (PoD) volunteered, gives me the chance to big myself up a bit more. Last Sunday, we took on Minster Lovell at home, 2pm start, great […]
On a high from beating the Presidents XI last week, we prepared to play E&W Hendred on a warm, dry but slightly cloudy day. Having won the toss, we elected to bat first , hoping to post a suitably high score that would keep us busy for the rest of the day.
PoD and ’Bows […]
Last Sunday was the game that many of us chose to avoid, mainly as it was Crowmarsh away, and the usual associated aggro! Unfortunately 11 of us had to play, and we bravely stepped out to field in thirty degree heat to give them 35 of our best! We bowled admirably but again our […]
Despite the recent downpours and widespread flooding Wantage and Grove managed to find a suitable pitch for their fixture against Blewbury. It was supposed to be a home fixture but with the Wantage pitch more fit for a re enactment of the Armada it was rearranged to be played at Blewbury. The sun […]

After some difficulties trying to get a team together for the match against Cold Ash, I ended up with some regulars and four new players in the squad. The first dilemma was that none of the regulars are wicket keepers, so the gloves went to Andrew “Barry’s mate” Pye who said that he’d kept […]
All excited about playing our first game of the season, the team congregated in the Wantage pavilion with dreams of scoring centuries, taking unbelievable diving catches and taking six wickets in one innings. Our opposition turned up and probably had similar dreams to us. What unfolded was a story of hilarity, skill, luck, […]
A lovely sunny afternoon in Minster Lovell provided the stage for a challenging last match of the season. Wantage were a man down and facing a full strength Minster Lovell side on a soft riverside wicket.
After losing the toss again, Wantage were asked to field first in a 40 over match. James “Moobs” […]
Despite the rain on Saturday night, we played yesterday. The pitch at Uffington was quite soft and was not the best batting surface, requiring some sensible bowling to ensure that nobody got hurt. For the second time this season I won the toss and elected to bat first. Graham “Gorgeous” North […]
