East Garston cricket club

East Garston cricket club was the brainchild of the late Roy Hunt, who lived for many years in The Burfords. Roy was a member of the Wantage 41 club, a club formed from retiring round table members. He arranged a match between themselves and a scratch team from East Garston, both the said teams consisting of players all in excess of forty years of age. Every year since, this match has been played out with the winners receiving the “Roy Hunt Trophy”. Each season, the presentation of this trophy is overseen by Roy’s widow, Jill

We have no pitch of our own as yet, so “Home” matches are played at one of two alternative locations, namely Letcombe Regis or at Woodlands-St-Mary. Our games are played on Thursday evenings and Sunday afternoons. Practice sessions at the nets are held on Tuesday evenings

Thoughout the year, extending way beyond the cricket season, the club holds many social and fund raising events such as the walking treasure hunt, the annual cricket quiz and of course the yearly presentation dinner. The club itself is sponsored by PJS (Agricultural Services) Ltd. and its president is PJS Managing Director - Peter Smith.
