Victory lifts Grafton clear of the drop zone

ANY lingering relegation worries for Temple Grafton were promptly put to one side as they stormed to a 99-run victory to ensure Cotswold Hills League Division One cricket for at least another season.

But for skipper Adam Kirk, league positions are secondary for a club that prides itself in welcoming anyone looking to play the game in one of the best settings in the league.

“We are not too worried about which division we are in – we enjoy the competitiveness of league cricket but we are happy to fall where we fall,” the 23-year-old skipper explained.
