The Grannies
One hot May afternoon in 1956, after a rather good lunch, three undergraduates of Corpus Christi College Cambridge, were fielding in an off side arc. The ball kept being hit between them and through their legs so persistently that their skipper yelled at them "You are fielding like a lot of grannies!. The response was electric from our three founders "That's it! That's the name of our Club!" Our fixture list which climbed at its peak to over 60 matches. Membership increased correspondingly until we now have some 200 playing members for our 45 match list (plus another 180 non-playing members).
