At Abingdon Vale Cricket ground there are normally 40 or 50 youngsters practising cricket on a Saturday morning but today the nets were being rolled up and put away.

Fresh soil had also been spread across sections of the cricket ground, and the areas reseeded.

(The cricket club seem to be doing well with 4 adult Saturday teams in the Cherwell League, and a Sunday team – as well as all the youngsters. Good luck to them next season.)
