I think it is fair to say we all enjoyed the day – lovely venue, excellent tea, friendly opposition (and the only rainfall was during the tea interval) – all as usual at Swinton Park – but sadly this year we lost…Romany batted first – on probably the softest, spongiest, slowest pitch and outfield any […]

MATCH REPORT YORKSHIRE GENTS VS ROMANY CC 22ND JULY ROMANY WON BY 30 RUNS The game last year was a heavy loss for Romany, and neither us, nor YG enjoyed the day. So this year we selected a much stronger XI to have a much more competitive game and a possible chance of victory, so […]

Sunshine, Pizza (!) and cricketing drama…. Following the theatre of the 2017 fixture when it came down to the last ball with Romany needing 6 to win and President Hockin on strike, could this year’s game possibly be as tense……? The Romany ‘caravan’ headed over to Yapham a couple of players short despite the daily […]
Romany 198/2 Mutineers 198/9. Sunday 1st July 2018. Match tied. The match commenced with a minute’s silence for Rupert Wyard, who tragically passed away this week. He will be sorely missed. It goes without saying that if Rupert had played we would have won. The match itself was probably the most exciting Romany game I’ve ever […]

Whilst we offered substitute fielders, the home team were happy to make do with what they […]
