Greene & Co. are proud sponsors of Hornsey Cricket Club, who were mentioned on last Saturday’s Cricket AM, Sky Sport’s Saturday morning Cricket show.

Cricket AM are currently trying to find Britain’s fastest amateur bowlers.  In order to compile their league they are traveling all over the country going to a different amateur bowling club each week, and last week they came to Hornsey.

A few local boys then get two attempts to bowl as hard as they could, competing with each other to be the one whose bowling speed is selected for the league.  The boy who won in Hornsey managed to reach 66mph, which unfortunately wasn’t fast enough to beat the league’s current top score of 74mph. But our correspondent at the club Chetan Patel said the whole event was lots of fun and a great way to attract interest for the sport in the area.

If you managed to catch it on TV you may have noticed Greene & Co.’s sponsorship banner in the background while the winner was awarded their plaque!
