Welcome back to The Sunday Service!
This week, Mr Church reveals the draft sketches for the new Parish bird bath, as well as regaling tales of animals at the cricket.
Mr Gompertz reads a very short, but very fitting passage from the Good Book about our beatiful game, and leads a rousing rendition of this week's hymn, 'Be Thou My Vixen'.
WG Rumblepants talks about the lies one tells oneself during September, such as 'I won't play again next season...'
And finally, curtesy our good friends at Newberry Cricket, we've got a brand new prize to give away; this week, a pair of batting gloves!
