Bovey Tracey to mark their 175th anniversary with Lions encounter
Herald Express
|June 11, 2025
BOVEY Tracey's 175th anniversary celebrations move into top gear later this month with a showcase game against the Devon Lions.
Sunday, June 22 is going to be a red-letter day for the club as it marks a century and a half of cricket on what was known as Bovey Heath when cricket was first played there.
Past players from the Bovey Tracey team that won the Devon Cricket League Premier Division title for the first time in 2002 are on the guest list for the big day.
"Neil Davey, Daniel Full, Mark and Adam Gribble, Colin Mortimore and Alan Searle, all members of that team, will be taking-up fielding positions near the bar," said Jeremy Christophers, who also played in the side and it one of the celebration organisers.
"We would like to see many more former players who have contributed to the club's rich history there on the day."
Bovey won the Premier title again in 2017 and some survivors from that team will have a more active role on the day.
