This is no ordinary cricket match. This is the Swell Valley One Day Match
More exclusive than the Buckingham Palace Summer Garden Party, and more star-studded than Cartier Polo, the annual Fittlescombe vs Brockhurst cricket match is older than the Ashes, and every bit as hotly contested.
The Fittlescombe team have their hopes pinned on local boy Will Nuttley, but 24 year-old Will has his heart set on winning back the love of his life, Emma Harwich. As the champagne goes on ice and the sandwiches are being cut, little do the Swell Valley residents know that Emma has got wind of Brockhursts newly arrived secret weapon, the Argentine heartthrob Santiago de la Cruz. Shes intent on sleeping with the enemy, and its throwing Will into a spin
