August bank holiday Sunday saw the return of the Shepperton Cricket Club annual six-a-side ‘ShepFest’. This year saw a players draft introduced for the first time to ensure that all eight teams had an equal chance of picking up the prestigious trophy. The weather on the day made for a carnival atmosphere and the day unfolded with the 12 group games showing some high class batting, bowling and fielding. The semi finals were both very close run games, setting up a final between the Pink Panthers and Wayfarers FC. The final did not disappoint, led by the Wayfarers superb bowling of Leo Pearcy (playing in a wedding dress to celebrate his recent engagement) and the batting of Mitchell Osbon. David Sheward was the day’s leading run scorer for the second Shepfest running. The Wayfarers were the deserved winners on the day. The day was rounded off with singing and dancing to the two live bands who closed out the event.
Save the date: Saturday 5th November, Fireworks display at Shepperton Cricket Club.
