The Oakwood Ashes

Written by Mark Weddell

Children vs parents cricket Sunday 12th September saw the annual parents against children cricket match in Oakwood Park. After a hasty lunch players and supporters gathered behind the cafe for the limited overs match. The children batted first and set a reasonable score in the mid eighties during their allotted overs.

Led out by Christopher and Kaushal (the new Assistant Minister), they got off to a shakey start losing some early wickets. The innings steadied later on, after a couple of dog invasions, but the damage had already been done, and the children won by a margin of over 30 runs. A great afternoons entertainment, and a great chance to get to know eachother just that little bit more!
