Photos from the Cricket and Hog Roast

A large excitable crowd with picnics watched the cricket match between East Worldham and West Worldham early in July.  The match which takes place at Park Farm is keenly contested, with the young cricketers showing off their fitness levels. East Worldham were first to bat and some spectacular fielding and one casualty from the opposition, restricted their total to 163 runs.  West Worldham started slowly but were progressing well, until a devastating spell of bowling and some excellent catching, brought the innings to a quick end and they were eventually all out for 89 runs.

In mid afternoon the roasting of the hog started, and by early evening all was ready for the arrival of the villagers. Between 130 and 140 villagers relaxed in the early evening sun, and enjoyed the excellent Hog Roast.  The Hog with particularly good crackling was superbly cooked by Mike Walker and the salads and pudding were prepared by the WI. As the evening got colder the disco started up in the barn. The excellent choice of music got many villagers onto the dance floor, and some of their moves have not been seen for years. A great day was had by all with the festivities ending in the late evening.
