Cricket is back! And to celebrate, The Hogs are inviting everyone to their first game of the season!  The Long Ditton club, which won the triple last year for the first time in its history, is holding an inter-club game on Saturday (July 11).

There will be an outside bar with beers, ales and ciders supplied by The Hogs Back Brewery (who else?! ) and the Halloumi Bite mobile kitchen will be serving up its tasty Greek food between 4-8.30pm.

Visitors and new members are welcome to kick back and relax and watch the 40 over game for free at The Hogs’ (as they are affectionately known) Long Ditton Cricket Club ground at Stokes Field, Betts Way, Long Ditton. Start time 12.30pm.

James Mumford of the LDCC, said: “There will be social distancing measures in place and an outside drinks station so people are able to buy and enjoy their drinks safely. All those wanting to watch some cricket in the sun are welcome to come down to enjoy the day. There will be chairs available at the club, but visitors are welcome to bring their own chairs, deckchairs and picnics with them.”

If you can’t get enough of the cricket on Saturday, The Hogs have another home game against Thames Ditton on Sunday (July 12) to enjoy. All welcome. Start time 1pm.

Last season the club scooped the Fuller’s Brewery Surrey County League T20 Cup, topped the league – which meant promotion to the Surrey Championship – and last but not least vanquished rivals Croydon in the league cup final.
