Barnards Green Cricket Club this year celebrates 75 years of providing cricket to everyone. "The Green" could not have achieved the recognition they have as one of the premiere clubs in the Midlands area without the tireless efforts of a string of volunteers who remain largely anonymous. Every club needs members who quietly get on with the job of making sure that when the players turn up on Saturday afternoon they don't have to worry about the little details that make playing at The Green a pleasure.

In it's 75th anniversary year The Green wish to recognise the efforts of those people who "quietly get on with it". Thanks to you all.

Saturday 30th May 2009. The Green 1sts head the table following a convincing 7 wicket win over Oldswinford

thanks to a Kev Golder 79 and another excellent all-round team performance. The 2nds maintain second spot with

an emphatic 10 wicket win at Lye. The 3rds and the fourths achieved creditable winning draws against Martley.

Newly promoted Colwall found out just how hard it is to live with sides having more senior experience

at the higher level as they suffered a 10 wicket drubbing at the hands of The Green 1st XI.

performances to defeat Hanley and Upton - ( is it fair to play against 2 teams ? )

The Green Quiz Team won the quiz league final beating The Brewers Arms by 96 points to 90.

9th May - A wonderful century from Liam Paddock gives The Green the points over Bromyard.

The opening match of the season for the Sunday 2nds saw The Green post a total of 196 off their 40 overs

after a very shaky start, losing a number of their recognised batsmen cheaply. Robin Longmore however,

nursing a series of injuries, sent the ball to all parts of the county as he passed the 100 mark.

Tight bowling, and great fielding, especially from the youngsters in their ranks, restricted Bromsgrove to 141 all out.

Special mention to Georgia and Zak, called up at the last minute who starred in the field and both bowled really well

and to the ageing Ryan Scullion who turned in yet another great performance.

2nd May 2009. Congratulations to the 1sts and 2nds on their victories over Redditch in what proved to be

two extremely exciting matches. The 3rds and 4ths, both lost to Canon Frome but some excellent perfomances

were in evidence. not least from Jack Cullity who picked up his first 5 wicket haul. Match reports from all of
