The annual Cheriton 6-a-side cricket
trophy, sponsored by the Flower Pots Inn, will again be
contested on Monday 29th August. The prestigious tournament
– now in its 18th year – is played from 9am
to dusk. Eight teams compete in two group competitions, then
semi-finals and the final.
Joining the hosts Cheriton, are: Bishops Waltham,
Fair Oak Rangers, Hambledon, Ropley, Tichborne Park, St Cross and
Ventnor.
Play commences at 09:00 with two round robin
leagues of four teams each. There is almost continuous
play with each match interlaced with the following game.
Each game is five overs per innings with each
fielder bowling except the wicket keeper. Batsmen retire at 25 but
often return to bat again.
There are many variations on the standard game
e.g. 3 runs for a wide and no extra ball except in the final over
of an innings. More details in the
rules. |
| The players wear coloured strip and even
the balls this year will be coloured orange and yellow! Play is
non-stop, with 12 games in the league stage followed by knock-out
semi-finals and the grand final at 6.30 pm.
Some years over 1200 runs are scored!
