Short sequences of a village cricket match.
A village cricket match at Coleshill Cricket Club. A few spectators are seated outside a small pavilion. Not all the cricketers are sporting their cricket whites, perhaps a sign of inter-war austerity. There are good wide shots of the bowling, batting and fielding and a concluding sequence from the bowler's point of view from behind the wicket.
