I have placed this geocache close to Bovey Tracey Cricket Club's ground – there is also a tennis court and bowling green – which is a lovely venue. The cricket club here was founded in 1850 and has an illustrious history. Currently the First XI team play in the top county league and there are several other adult teams at various levels. Juniors are certainly not forgotten either and from what I can gather, they are doing really well. There is also a ladies team and opportunities for girls to play too.
For those of you who who do not follow or understand cricket, here is a brief explanation of why I have called this cache Maiden Over – Bovey Tracey. An 'over' is a set of six balls bowled to the batsmen at the opposite end of the pitch. If no runs are scored in a particular over, that is said to be a Maiden over.
