ARCC this weekend

/in News/by Adam Bernstein

This weekend is the last of the league season and it is coming to a massive climax. Simply put, if the 1st team win on Saturday they will win the Home Counties League for the first time, but they must win otherwise their opponents High Wycombe will finish above them. The support from the villages this year has been very much appreciated and the more we can get to come and support on Saturday to cheer on the team the better. The bar will be open from 1pm and Ben’s pizza’s will be available later in the afternoon.

But the first team are not the only team chasing a league championship. If the 2nd team win and their rivals Banbury 2nd  lose, they will also win their league – Cherwell League Division 1. So it could be a party on Saturday night.

On the bottom field the 4th team will host local rivals Watlington 1st team from 12.30.

As we move to the last two weeks of the league season the first team are top of their league and two wins will guarantee a first ever Home Counties Premiership title. This week they are away at Oxford so best wishes to them.

At Butts Way we have the second and third teams at home. The second team still has a chance of winning the Cherwell League Divison 1, but it will need the current leaders to lose a game.

The weekend starts with the normal junior training from 6pm on Friday with the bar opens as usual.

On Saturday 27th August we have Aston Rowant 2nd  v Long Marston 1st on the top pitch, starting at 12.00 and Aston Rowant 3rd v Chearsley 1st on the bottom pitch starting at 12.00.

On Sunday 28th we have an under 11 tournament on both fields from 10 am.

And on Monday 29th the 3rd team will play their cup final against Hook Norton 1st team at Abingdon Vale.

More details on all of the above are on  astonrowantcc.com.

Reminder: Defibrillator training

Just a reminder that the parish is organising training for residents on CPR and how to use a defibrillator. There are two events being held in Kingston Blount Village Hall – Tuesday 6 September and Thursday 8 September. Both starting at 1930hrs and are free to attend.

Please try to come along to one or other of them; an hour spent understanding CPR and getting familiarised with a defibrillator unit may well save the life of someone close to you.

Just to gauge numbers it would be helpful to know who is coming. Please send an email to  .
