Your plans for next years game sound very interesting indeed, a running commentary and live photos and videos will definitely be a first for the Atherstone ball game!

Gary, The 1998 Ball was thrown out by Tony Maycock (Central T.V.presenter)and won by Clint Walker. Upon winning the ball he dedicated his victory to his father Bill,who was terminally ill with cancer.Also i do have photos and cuttings from this year,I will try to get some posted on here if possible. Andrew,through the 60s the ball game was dominated by a team led by a man who was known as (the King of the Ball Game)Mr Sam Fulleylove,again i do have some photos,and will try to post them on here.
hiya my family have been in this game for year an some still today.. would you be able to trace back weather a stringer, barsbey or fullylove have ever won the ball?
