Singleton Cricket Club's

Duck Race
Each year around Easter'ish

To celebrate the rise of the River Lavant (not too high, we hope!) a Duck Race (plastic, that is!) is held over a course of approximately ¼ mile. It is started by the Village Pond and finishes at the Cricket Ground where tea & coffee are available at the Pavilion.

Make it a date!

The race is always a great success and here are some photos to prove it!
