Description

The Trap, for the game Bat and Trap, is hand-made by an English craftsman in solid Ash wood. The Trap conforms to all known Bat and Trap league requirements, as does our Bat.



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 tr. The same equipment could also be used for playing another traditional game, “Knur and Spell”, that will go down well at a village fetes or school fair.



This is a solid, robust version of this great game, made to withstand the rigours of league use. Not only is our trap practical, is a beautifully made piece of furniture in its own right.



Occasionally, you will see inferior Traps for sale locally or on the Internet. Before buying an alternative, you may wish to check it against some of the following features of our own trap:

• Solid English Ash throughout
• Stainless Steel Base Plate along entire length
• Solid Stainless Steel Fulcrum
• Wicket hinged at ground level
• Rubber Feet for Stability
• Low strength magnetic wicket base
• Holes in the base to allow trap to be pegged down, if desired
• Morrells Catalysed Lacquer for long lasting and durable finish.

It is a common problem with traps that the wicket often falls over when the bat strikes the trap see-saw. Our trap is designed to minimise this issue by putting a mild-strength magnet on the underside of the wicket. It doesn’t affect play when the wicket is hit by a ball but minor vibrations of the trap are less likely to cause the wicket to fall when it shouldn’t. On uneven ground staking the trap down with metal pegs through the three holes provided will also serve to reduce this effect.



Trap is guaranteed for six months against normal wear and tear.
