That could be very impressive Brian if all right - knew the first one was close to home due to the limited angle!!! Yes, Keyberry's answers are entirely correct. If there was one person on this site who I would have expected to have frequented such venues, it was he! Well done, that man. Thanks Barty. I 've played football badly on some, either refereed or lined badly on some, but scored a 50 playing cricket on one? |

it will offer Joe an opportunity to take a break from the doubtless laborious task of cataloging his collection of Orange Order members photographed holidaying on the North Devon coast Best not mention the North Devon coast or AJ will start sounding off about all those public sector union members holidaying at Croyde. |

I'm assuming the imperious chanceless fifty - off thirty-six balls - came at Exwick? Plenty of changes there whilst I was away. I knew Exeter Civil Service had become Exwick Villa. I didn't know that the civil service sports club had been bulldozed to make way for the Exeter College sports hub. Likewise at St Martins where I'm pretty sure the pitch has been moved through ninety degrees. There's also covered accommodation with two sets of seats, one of which was facing in the wrong direction when I was there last week. |

Apologies, the far from chanceless 50, off at least 46 overs, was against the ill fated Exeter St James at the Bonfire Field, Topsham. I thought the cricket club relocated but in the end they stayed putt and the footy club moved half a mile up the road instead. Is that correct Mr Knowledge? |

I thought the cricket club relocated but in the end they stayed putt and the footy club moved half a mile up the road instead. Is that correct Mr Knowledge? I've only got to know Topsham's sporting half-mile in recent years: the football ground just the Exeter side of the motorway; then the university sports complex (football, cricket and rugby); lastly Topsham rugby together with St James cricket. The cricket club website charts a somewhat nomadic history which apparently includes flogging St James' Park in the city to a football club in 1904. Thereafter they played at Clifton Hill, Stoke Hill, Wonford House, Heavitree Park, Digby and Exminster before moving to the Bonfire Field, Topsham in 1989. The football club play at Coronation Fields. Kerry Miller's book says they moved there in 1953 having briefly played at the Retreat and, before the war, at Bowling Green marshes (near the bird watching hides which overlook the Clyst). According to this account, the club used the Lord Nelson pub for socials and meetings until a social club was built at the ground in the early 1980s. I saw a very young Torquay United side play at Topsham in a friendly in July 2002. The programme listed our first team squad; I doubt if hardly any of those named played. My scribblings indicate we won 1-0 with Graham Killoughery scoring. |

And here’s the second part. These are all in Devon: Bloody difficult. Number 10 a picture of a corner flag appears to be Clovelly as there are two donkeys munching grass nearby! 13 & 14 may be Teignmouth and Barnstaple. One looked a bit like Hatherleigh but can't remember the number now and as it has taken me ages to try to set up this quote as every time I started to type it jumped up to join the original text, I am afraid to come out of it and have a look. I expect number 9 is Coach Road only because it says 'Newton Abbot' in the dugout although that could be a deliberate red herring rather than including an easy one! Been away for the last 4 games. Looks like we did jolly well. Hurrah chaps!  |

Looks like we did jolly well. Hurrah chaps! Sorry having now had a look I even got the Clovelly one wrong (although it obviously is not anyway). The pretty picture with the donkeys is 12. The Hatherleigh one I mentioned is 16, and number 11 ... Bideford? |

Im totally clueless with this lot except 13 surely has to be Teignmouth rugby ground. And a very long shot 11 Rectory Field, Devonport Services.

I can sympathise with Stefano. I find the quote facility difficult when using my laptop. The mobile version is much easier.
Thirteen is Teignmouth RFC; eleven is the Rectory, home of Devonport Services.
None of Coach Road, Hatherleigh, Clovelly or Barnstaple feature in either set of pictures. Or Bideford.
But one ground also featured in my last quiz.

Well done, Keyberry. Those answers are correct. Any personal triumphs at Sidmouth CC over the years?
I slipped Exmouth Town (and the donkeys) back in after seeing them play Witheridge recently. Kevin Hill still wears "11" even though he plays in defence these days.
Still a few to be solved....

Very clever to put in number six, which is at Exmouth Cricket Club on the Maer, but...
that is actually the old stand from when Exmouth Town played football there way back in the sixties.

Ah, good man Budleigh. I only knew this because of something you wrote a while back. It's an amazing antiquity that's served little or no purpose for many a year. |
