Once again Pippa Middleton has been supporting her boyfriend's sporting pursuits.



Despite claims that her relationship with 30-year-old banker Alex Loudon was on the rocks she looked at ease as she watched the former England cricketer in action.



Armed with a picnic hamper and Waitrose goods Pippa, 27, bagged herself a prime spot on the field talking to players and waiting to greet her boyfriend with a loving embrace post-match.





Long day: The match kicked off at 11am this morning and finished just after 6pm





As temperatures topped 21 Celsius Pippa opted for a red hot polka-dot dress - almost identical to the one she wore to Wimbledon this June from the Hobbs NW3 range.



Quashing any rumours of her single status she openly displayed her affections even grabbing a quick kiss during the match. She has been dating Alex for over a year but reports earlier this year revealed that their relationship had ended.



Eton-educated Alex, who previously played for England now captains his school team the Eton Ramblers. Last month Pippa was among the small gathering of devotees who turned up to watch Eton Ramblers, as they beat the Old Eastbournians in the Cricketers Cup, making it to the final round.

Today the Eton Ramblers battled against the Old Malvernians in the finals of the Cricketer Cup at the London Shenley Club in Hertfordshire, but despite Alex's efforts to lead his team to victory the Old Malvernians secured a comfortable win by four wickets.



The Ramblers have won the competition twice - a 50-overs knock-out competition for the Old Boys of 32 schools - in 1992 and 2001.



The match started at 11am with a 2pm break for lunch where players were treated to a lunch of poached salmon, accompanied with new potatoes and carrots followed by chocolate mousse and apple crumble. Proceedings came to an end shortly after 6pm.
