Long long ago...

This photograph of Wherwell Cricket Club is not one of the present team, but it has been suggested that two of the bearded gentlemen in the picture could possibly have shaved off their beards and are now playing under different names. (Wayne and Peter!!!)

Since this picture was taken when Wherwell won the Andover cup three years on-the-trot in 1892-94 many fine players and associates have upheld the long tradition of cricket in Wherwell. Some of these people are now sadly deceased, and others still are with us, they include Sid Rowles (dec.), Alan Rowles, Bill Picket, Michael James (dec.), Colin Hitchings, Brian Horne and many more. Every time we play for Wherwell we also remember those who can’t play with us anymore.
