Famous MCC heading for the beach
MCC, the cricket club based at Lord’s Cricket Ground will be paying a visit to Elie beach on Saturday to take on The Ship Inn Cricket Club.
The Ship Inn is the only pub in Britain to have its own cricket team that plays on the beach.
The sandy beach is famously picturesque and its flat sandy expanse allows cricket to take place at low tide, with the area of play diligently rolled to provide the perfect cricket pitch.
