Jimmy Perchard launches international cricket ground in his garden

Jimmy Perchard has created an international cricket ground in his garden in St Martin, Jersey, with the first game played in 2005. Starting from humble beginnings, the Farmers Cricket Ground has grown significantly, attracting sponsorship and community support over the years. It has become a key venue for Jersey cricket, contributing to the island's appearances in international competitions, including the European Cricket League and World Cup qualifiers. The venue hosts local matches and has helped nurture players like Perchard's son, Charles, the current team captain. Jersey aims to qualify for the 2028 T20 World Cup following close losses in previous qualifiers.
