Hertfordshire-based walking cricket club Birchwood Royals happy to welcome new members

The newly-formed Birchwood Royals strolled to a couple of wins when they took part in the Worcester Walking Cricket Festival.

The first walking cricket team to be formed in Hertfordshire took on teams from Redditch, Evesham and Worcester at Old Elizabethans.

And, after registering two victories and suffering one defeat, the players deemed their first tour to be a great success.

Walking cricket is an adaptation of the game to suit those with less mobility and caters for different abilities.

Any men and women interested in joining the club's Tuesday evening sessions at Birchwood High School should call Sean Carey on 07849 973451.
