Description
Ship Inn Cricket Club, who say they’re the only club in the world with a beach for a home ground, hosted their first games of 2024 over the weekend. Founded over thirty years ago, the Scottish pub team has made some major modifications to accommodate the unique playing conditions: the abbreviated, 30-over games are scheduled to coincide with low tide, and they are played on a pitch comprising compacted sand with a waterproof rubber ball. Ship Inn CC's local knowledge proved decisive in Sunday's match, as they defeated the South Street Swingers by 103 runs in front of spectators in a bustling beer garden. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
