FARMERS CRICKET CLUB

Rain did not stop play for the Channel
Islands’ chapter’s first family event on

Friday 4 August and was in fact a lucky
break from the dubious English summer
this year! South Africa invaded the Jersey
Farmers Cricket Ground for a family cricket

day kindly sponsored by AlexForbes
Offshore.

A traditional Braai with Jersey’s finest wors

rolls, face painting and ice cream for the
kids as well as the opportunity to win one
of three beach cricket sets was followed

by a very competitive game of T20 cricket
which looks to become an annual event
going forward!

The special select team of South African
cricketers took on the Farmers Cricket
Club Social Side and we saw a dominant
performance by team Cricket-Bokke

facing the ever-gracious hosts wonderful
Farmers’ field.

Fuelled by biltong, both openers (who
happen to be multi-talented rugby
players) retired on 30* laying the
groundwork for a big total of 186 which

the Farmers struggled to reach with some
early dismissals!

All proceeds from the day were donated
to Cancer Research UK (CRUK) and all in
all it was a fantastic, relaxed day with the
opportunity to catch up with old friends
and make plenty of new ones.
