Howzat: full cricket kit for Bohemians at Great Bristol Run

Members of Filton's Bohemians Cricket Club were among the 12,000 competitors who took part in the Great Bristol Run on May 14.

Dressed in full cricket kit to raise funds for their charity partner, St Peter’s Hospice, the Bohemians runners certainly stood out from the crowd.

Mike Joy and Alex White donned their batting pads and whites to run the 10k and Becky, their elite runner completed the half marathon.

Club member Lewis Rodgers went one step further by running the half marathon while trying to break the 1 hr 40 minute Guinness World Record for the fastest half marathon dressed in full cricket kit. In the event Lewis achieved the distance in a pacey 2 hr 4 minutes and may try for the record again next year.

Bohemians CC have been long term supporters of hospice care after one of their founder youth coaches was cared for by St Peter’s Hospice.

Bohemians, established in 1882, is one of the oldest cricket clubs in Bristol, has two teams in the Bristol and District Cricket League and are based at The Mile Straight Sports and Social Club, New Road in Filton.
