Kenilworth Cricket Club's Sunday XI beat a travelling Barford side by two wickets this weekend.

Barford 113-10 (37.2 overs) lost to Sunday XI 114-8 (27.2 overs) by two wickets.

Neighbours Barford made the short trip to Kenilworth on Sunday for a 40-over friendly.

Barford set a run total of 113 for 10 (37.2 overs) for the hosts to chase, which Kenilworth caught with two wickets and 12 overs to spare.

Barford's Tobin (18) and Griffin (15) struck a third wicket 40-run partnership, after the away side lost two quick wickets.

Forshaw added 11 whilst their score was bolstered by 38 extras.

Matt Dadswell took a fine four for 16 from his 6.2 overs, Matt Casey two for seven from six frugal overs, and Christian Mortlock claimed two from seven. Shyaan Imam took chipped in with one wicket for just seven runs and Will Machin claimed the final wicket.

In reply, opener, Dan Horner retired when he reached 50 (7 x 4). Adam Huxford added 26 (2 x 4) and youngster Keeran Umashanker posted 14 as the side stuttered to the winning line.

The hosts were perhaps not as convincing as they could have been, losing eight wickets, but they managed to reach their 114 target with 12 overs to spare. This despite the best efforts of Tobin who took three for 12, Griffin two for 10 and Forshaw one for 15 for Barford.

Local News Multiple objections to plans to allow more camping events at NAEC Stoneleigh

Multiple objections have been made to an application which could see the NAEC Stoneleigh used as a campsite on selected dates for another five years.

Grandstand Stoneleigh Events has applied for permission to provide camping on the site for up to 30 events per year, with up to 1,524 tents and caravans allowed in pockets on the site at any one time.

The company already has permission to run the events, with permission expiring in April 2025.

The five-year extension would also see camping restricted to no more than seven days per event.

The application to Warwick District Council states a number of rules and regulations are enforced on campers.

These include no outdoor activities after 11pm, no excessive noise, no ball games, and no BBQ's.

Guests are also told not to leave rubbish, keep dogs on a lead and to clean up after their pets.

But ten local residents have objected to the scheme, saying previous events have led to multiple complaints to the local authority.

Janet Jordan wrote : "I object strongly to this application.

"The plan allows for camping anywhere on the site, and offers no restrictions which would protect near neighbours from nuisance.

"And the scale of the requested permission - up to a maximum of 1524 tents or caravans - is excessive.

"The events team have a very poor record in planning events to mitigate impacts on neighbours, and for managing events in line with reasonable expectations."

Paul Harris added: "Previous events have been poorly managed with a lack of traffic management and security, allowing access to the private road.

"There are constant security issues, with cars and commercial vehicles parking and utilising the private estate roads of the Cunnery and Grovehurst.

"The camp site occupiers walk dogs, leave waste and litter and have created damage to fences and verges on Mary Lodge drive."

Meanwhile Jill Maloney simply said: "Having suffered years of annoyance and previous damage to my property from drunken revellers on the campsite, I strongly oppose this application."
