A Suitable Tribute
Posted
Last Sunday saw the annual cricket match held on the Playing Field in memory of Craig Whipps.
Played on the same day as the celebrations for the Queen's 90th Birthday, it was much enjoyed by all concerned and provided a fitting tribute to Craig's memory.
The two teams "Windsor Wizards" and "Palace Royals" produced a stirring contest with some good performances on both sides. The Wizards batted first and reached 110 for 9 in the 20 overs. For some time it seemed that the Royals would overtake this total but a late collapse saw them all out for 101.
As is normal on such occasions some of the umpires' decisions were somewhat "controversial" but the whole match was played in the best possible spirit.
