Cricket Club<br />
Situated just beyond the recreation park along Batsford Road is<br />
our magnificent cricket ground. Our cricket club has been<br />
running since 1856 and we continue to strive to grow and<br />
develop the club further.<br />
We have two teams who play league fixtures on Saturdays in<br />
the Cotswold Hills League and a friendly team who play the<br />
majority of their fixtures on Sundays. Each team requires<br />
varying levels of commitment and ability - meaning new players<br />
can always be accommodated. For more information on playing<br />
please email Dave Henshaw on:- dave_henshaw@hotmail.com.<br />
Weekly practice sessions at the club will be on Thursday<br />
evenings from 18:30. Current and prospective members are all<br />
welcome.<br />
This season we are also running two junior teams for Under<br />
10’s and Under 14’s. Cricket practice will run start on Monday<br />
2nd <strong>April</strong> (18:00-<strong>19</strong>:00) for Under 10’s and Tuesday 3rd <strong>April</strong><br />
(18:00-<strong>19</strong>:30) for Under 14’ and run all weekly all season. For<br />
more information on junior cricket, please contact Graham<br />

If you wish to get involved in our club, whether it is to play or<br />
come to watch and enjoy our fabulous surroundings, you are<br />
