2010 was an important milestone year in the history of cricket in Lullington Park as it marks our 150th Anniversary of the first recorded game - these celebrations may seem a little quick off the mark, remembering that we celebrated 125 years of cricket in 2006, but while researching our history, ahead of publication of Jackdaws in the Park - the history and msytery of Lullington Park Cricket Club - we discovered the earlier matches.
Copies of the hardback 184 page illustrated history of the club - Jackdaws in the Park - are available priced £15, or by post £17.50 from Dave Fern, 8-10 Burton Road, Overseal, Swadlincote, DE12 6LQ
