There is a new look this season for the Bredon Hill Bash, the Twenty20 competition solely for clubs around the hill.

Rather than taking place in four weeks through August, games will be spread through the summer.

The first match will be at Bredon Cricket Club on the afternoon of Sunday, April 21, and it will coincide with the First of the Summer Wine, the club’s family fun day season curtain-raiser.

There will also be a game at Bredon on Sunday, May 26, the day of the Bredon Cricket Club Tower Run.

Others will be played on Sunday, June 30; Sunday, July 28, and Sunday, August 18.

Finals day is scheduled for Sunday, August 18.

The bash this year is being organised by Arthur Hayward, a long-standing supporter of the club, in the absence of Jake Denton, who devised the competition.

Unfortunately, bad weather ruined the culmination of last year’s tournament, but the 2017 finals day was a huge success, drawing visitors from around Bredon Hill.

In addition to Bredon, teams from Ashton-under-Hill, Overbury, Elmley Castle and the Crown, Kemerton took part last year.

Look out for more details here later this year.
