SANDFORD Cricket Club will be hosting a full three-day Minor Counties game between Devon County Cricket Club and Shropshire from Sunday, July 30 to Tuesday, August 1.

With only three clubs in the county hosting three-day games this is one of the highest honours that Sandford Cricket Club could receive.

Over the years Sandford CC has been recognised by umpires and officials as one of the best playing surfaces in the county and this is due recognition for everyone’s hard work.

Set in the delightful surroundings of Creedy Park the ground is set naturally within the rolling hills of Mid Devon and with a clubhouse and facilities that are the envy of most clubs in the county.

This will be the third time that Sandford has received the ultimate recognition of a Minor Counties game.

The start of play on all three days will be 11am. Entrance for spectators will be free but there will be a very small charge for cars.

Devon are one of the leading minor counties in the competition and their record within the three-day competition and the one-day cup competition is unsurpassed.

Spectators are welcome to visit for a full or part day. It will be an opportunity for cricket fans to see the best players in the country. Refreshments will be served throughout each day.
