Barrow’s T20 season got underway at Flax Bourton Irregulars on Wednesday with an exciting comeback win. Mark Forge opted to bat first to take advantage of the better light and the fact that 3 of the team had yet to arrive! Losing 2 wickets in the first over was not part of the plan. Jonny

Unfortunately today’s game against Blagdon has had to be cancelled due to recent heavy rain. Hopefully the weather will relent to enable next weekend’s league games to go ahead. Barrow 1sts face a difficult start at Bath 4ths, whilst the 2nds play Twyford House A at home. On Sunday the 3rd team play Pak Bristolians
The cricket season finally got underway on Saturday, thanks in no small part to the hard work of groundsman Pete Holdaway who managed to get the ground into remarkable condition considering the amount of rain over the last 2 months. Flax Bourton were the visitors for the opening friendly and, winning the toss, put Barrow
