This is a versatile idea for garden parties or fetes. The game of Bat and Trap is an ancient relative of Cricket, still popular in Kent and an interesting game for schools looking for something new to try - see below for more details.

The same equipment can also be used for playing another traditional game, "Knur and Spell", that will go down extremely well as a competition for village fetes or school fairs.

Made by Jaques, the oldest games manufacturer in the world, this is a well-made item in natural wood. Strong, hand-carved, wooden bat, special sorbo ball and 2 target wooden posts. This item is designed for informal use - it is not suitable for league play.

Jaques Bat and Trap balls are lighter and softer than balls used for League Bat and Trap. Diameter 61mm, weight 67g. When we can get spare balls, they are just sold loose without packaging.
