​

After a couple of false starts, Winsford's cricketers had hoped to get their playing season underway last weekend against Cutcombe, but the weather beat them this time, with the game rained off, leaving players, supporters, and groundsmen disappointed.

​

With no game next week, Winsford's next match is at home to Lydeard St Lawrence on Saturday 6th June.
