Lavant Cricket Club 2016 Lavant Cricket Club, LCC, had another enjoyable and successful cricket season in 2016 with 17 weekend matches played, 7 wins, 4 drawn games and only 4 matches lost along with 2 games abandoned due to the weather. LCC travelled from East Meon in the west to Arundel in the east for their away games. For the first time in several seasons LCC won a Twenty20 game, winning 4 of their 6 games, all of which were played at Pook Lane. A total of 30 players took part this year. Several younger players contributed this year, particularly Alex Burford, Hugh Hudson, Danny and Peter Berkley, Mark Stevens, Kieran Nash, Viral Parikh and Harris Ali before he moved up to the Midlands. Steve Brooker continued his fine performance with the bat scoring nearly 500 runs, however Danny Berkley is chasing him hard for the top spot with the highest score of 105 runs. Dave Banks continued this year with another tremendous bowling performance taking 21 wickets at 7.9 runs each, taking a wicket on average every 22 balls. The cricket square was maintained in perfect condition by our three groundsmen, Peter and Robin Burford and Derek Portsmouth. As always, the immaculate score book was kept by Sheila Portsmouth. Robin Burford, the club skipper, presented the annual awards at the club dinner held at the end of November at the Fox and Hounds pub in Funtington. LCC 2016 Awards 1.
