It has been a very pleasant day, particularly this afternoon with sunny spells and a light breeze with temperature reaching 25C and 50% humidity, making it much more bearable than of recent days.

Turf cricket outfield had it's first trim with the triple in 11 days just to tidy up. The boxes were left off to return the clippings to the sward.

Final preparations to the pitches for the weekend cricket, a very light weekend with just 2 matches for Eversley CC on Saturday.

Sarah has kept her fair skin hidden from the blistering heat all week and has done a sterling job painting almost all the rugby posts with some help from our antipodean visitor, Rhys.
