Village Cricket, Riddings, Derbyshire.

Riddings Park with the spire of Riddings Parish Church in the distance.

Bernard and Norman Ellis both played cricket for Riddings in the Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Border League.

Bernard was a fast bowler who achieved the notable feat of getting 9 wickets in an innings.
Norman was an opening batsman who was so dogged that even his own parents
got bored watching him (a very useful quality for an opening batsman).

The cricket pitch is notable for having a tree growing within the boundary.

past players, including a certain B. G. Ellis.
