This year marks the 40th anniverary of the Bramble Cricket match. Each year, the Island Sailing Club meets members of the Royal Southern Yacht Club for a ‘quintessentially English’ match of cricket on the Brambles Sandbar in the Solent. Started in 1984, this strange – but fabulous – tradition sees the two clubs play against each other until play is stopped by waves.
Adding an extra spin to proceedings, the match winner is always decided ahead of time, with teams taking alternate turns at winning.
Commodore and team Captain Tim Devlin said, “The Bramble Cricket Match is a wonderful tradition that both clubs look forward to and thoroughly enjoying taking part in.”
Why not join us at 6AM on the Bramble Bank.
