Somerset CC 1979 — 1979 saw the visit of the all-conquering Somerset side to the Recreation Ground for the first time ever. Viv Richards was clean bowled by club chairman Eric Nott for just 27, and Ian Botham delighted a large enthusiastic crowd with a typically swashbuckling century that included eight sixes and ten fours.

Timsbury Cricket Club 1983 — 1983 became known as the year of the helicopter. Brian Rose, the most successful captain in Somerset’s history, had a well-deserved testimonial on 24th May. Preparations for the match were severely hampered by some of the worst early season weather on record; the entire wicket was water-logged. Chairman Eric Nott remarked that perhaps the club should hire a helicopter to dry out the pitch; with the backing of sponsors Bath Toyota, the idea took flight, and what a publicity coup it was! Timsbury CC entered cricket’s history books as the first club in Britain to use a helicopter to dry out the pitch.

cr14 — On 3rd September 2006, Timsbury CC reached the finals of the National Village Knock Out Cup, playing Houghton Main CC at Lords. Houghton won the toss, but as the game progressed, Timsbury’s supporters felt increasingly optimistic. Then in the penultimate over, Houghton hit back with two sixes; Timsbury lost out, but only just!
