Bat & Trap is Back at The Marine Travel Ground
Clear your diary. Rally your mates. Polish your competitive spirit.
The annual Bat & Trap Tournament is coming to The Marine Travel Ground on Saturday 18 July from 12pm, hosted by Verum Financial LLP in support of Kent Neuro Therapy Centre and Canterbury Rugby Football Club.
This year’s event is proudly sponsored by Burgess Hodgson, whose generous backing is helping us deliver what promises to be a brilliant afternoon of sport, sunshine and sociable competition.
What on earth is Bat & Trap?
It is one of Kent’s finest traditional games. Think village green energy, plenty of laughter, and just enough skill to keep things interesting.
There is:
- No running at all
- No experience required
- Absolutely no excuse not to get involved
The rules have been lightly tweaked this year to keep things flowing and make sure we wrap up at a sensible time. That said, a steady hand and sharp eye will still go a long way.

Fair warning. Performance levels may fluctuate depending on how frequently you visit the bar.
Food, drink, and summer atmosphere
The Clubhouse Bar will be open throughout, the BBQ will be fired up, and there will be a raffle on the day, all adding to the festival feel.
This is one of those days where competition meets community. Teammates become rivals for an afternoon, and rivals become friends again by the time the final burger is served.
Glory awaits
There will be trophies for the winners and runners-up. They can be proudly displayed for a year before being kindly returned ahead of next summer’s showdown.
