STOP PRESS!

The Barford season's off to it's usual flyer (see the News and Results pages for details) with successive defeats at the hands of old and new foes, although according to the skipper there a signs of a few green shoots of recovery!

The fixture list has a new addition with the Leek Wootton 6-a-side where, believe it or not, Barford are the defending champions! Ben Griffin will again captain the side so make sure he knows you want to play...

Tour balances are due, so please don't alienate your hard-working tour secretary (any more than you already have) and pay up promptly!

The Social pages here and here have been updated with details of the Annual Dinner and Pre-Season Party.

The fixture list is confirmed and the match secretaries listed on the fixtures page, so you can start planning your summer now!

At Barford we are always looking for new players to reduce the team average age, hopefully, to below 140. At weekends, we play only friendly games against similar local teams and several league Sunday 2nd XI teams. In the meantime you are most welcome to take a look around this site and if you want to attend nets or come along to any game or social event then please feel free to get in touch with a committee member or e-mail us directly.

Anyone seeking guidance on the club ethos could do far worse than read Marcus Berkmann's hilarious take on village cricket in "Rain Men" and the follow-up "Zimmer Men", which are uncannily close to real life. If you enjoy the books, you'll love playing for Barford...
