Competition between teams was keen but friendly and on many occasions, opposition teams from Northampton would ask if they could play both the home and away fixtures at Litchborough to absorb the country atmosphere.

Many players visiting Litchborough for the first time were fascinated to see sheep, hens, cows and a bull, together with several shire horses placidly feeding outside the cricket boundary.

Needless to say, considerable commotion was caused amongst opposition fielders when the ball when anywhere near the large Hereford bull and the home team took the advantage of running many extra runs!

Another highlight of the home games were the delicious teas provided by the wives and girlfriends of the Litchborough players.

Litchborough, being such a small village relied on players from the surrounding villages in order to field a team strong enough to do justice against the good local teams in our annual fixture list.

Over the period covered by this brief history, 107 players represented Litchborough.
