Widmer End St Margarets Cricket Club play in the village of Widmer End in Buckinghamshire. They field two teams in the Mid Bucks League on a Saturday and play some friendlies on Sundays.
The team play on the village sports ground and retire to the pub across the road after the game. At some point there must have been some dispute with the neighbours. The boundary between the two white posts runs along a row of houses. For this part of the boundary there is little point in hitting a six as you will only score four. This is to discourage people hitting into the houses and gardens - I think the neighbours were a tad fed up up with cricket balls hitting their homes. I believe the ground was there before the houses. Seems sad to have to amend the rules of cricket - if you buy a house by a long standing cricket ground is this not a risk you run?
However, Widmer End make it on to the blog for this local rule.
