Open Age Cricket since 1976

End of Season “Square to Bed”

HolmburyStmaryCC

It is no coincidence the pitch you play on each saturday

is planned.

with work to ready the pitch for a match day (not just the white line magic) – scheduled and planned. I (SurreyDowns.Org) think some two weeks before the white lines are drawn or a ball bowled.

Season may have gone

Clocks skipped back to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)

there is no rest for our Grounds People who work tirelessly all year – oh yes!!

SurreyDowns.org saids Thank you to all our Grounds Teams

Of course through out the season and even keep an “eye” so to speak on the square during our winters.

A task at the end of the season is to put the Square to bed (not really) but a way of getting the square ready for Winter

with thanks to member Cricket Club’s for these excellent photos
