Sticky Wicket.
A question for the local historians. Did Silverton ever have a cricket team and if so, where did they play ?. I can never remember hearing that we ever had a team which seems strange given that there are well established teams at Thorverton and Bradninch, and there is, or was, one at Killerton, but not one here. It seems odd given that Silverton has always been something of a sporting village when it came to football with the famous DEvon Junior Cup win in 1950. Perhaps land was too difficult to come by for a cricket pitch, or maybe prospective players were snapped up by our better established neighbouring teams.
