It's Easter in three days, the clocks are about to go forward and *fingers crossed* spring is surely just around the corner, which all means that the cricket season can't be far behind. With all our serviced apartments within walking distance of Trent Bridge Cricket Ground and both local football clubs, Notts County and Nottingham Forest, we often have guests staying with us who are into their sport.
As well as what's happening in West Bridgford, it's a really exciting year for sport with Euro16 and the Olympics and Paralympics, so we thought it would be useful to put a sporting calendar together.
So here is our handy guide to the sporting highlights of 2016:
Cricket
Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club, West Bridgford, NG2 6AJ
Starting with a 2-day friendly against local rivals, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire's first XI have got an exciting season up until September, so too have the second XI and Academy teams. Here's the full fixtures list for 2016 for real cricket fans.
If you prefer the shorter form (like me), here are Notts County's upcoming T20 matches at home (which are perfect to take clients to or just for a really fun day out):
May 20th: Notts Outlaws vs. Birmingham Bears
June 4th: Notts Outlaws vs. Lancashire
July 1st: Notts Outlaws vs. Durham Jets
July 9th: Notts Outlaws vs. Worcestershire Rapids
July 15th: Notts Outlaws vs. Yorkshire Vikings
July 29th: Notts Outlaws vs. Leicestershire Foxes
