The Hodgkinson Cup cricket week returns on Monday from 6pm at the Abbey Lawn with the current holders Bourne Rugby Club taking on Bourne Cricket Club Colts.

There are three games per evening with the semi-finals and final from the two groups played on Friday.

Additionally on Thursday, Bourne Colts will play the Lincolnshire Over 60s in a day match, followed on Friday with a Bourne XI playing LGR Huntingdon in a highly competitive fixture at 11am.
