Club Details
 Herefordshire-based Wormelow Cricket Club plays its cricket in the Crusader Worcestershire County League.
It runs two sides and they play to a good village standard. The club also has a strong youth policy.
The secretary is John Hughes, Church House, Garway HR2 8RL.
The club was formed in 1965 and joined the Hereford and District Cricket League in 1979 winning Division 4 in its first season.
Further promotions were gained until the club reached Division 1 in 1985, the same season as the second team was founded.
Wormelow became founder members of the Flint & Cook Marches League in 1992 and enjoyed a number of successful years in the competition. In 2006 they moved on to the Worcestershire County League where they won the newly-formed Division 3 South at the first attempt to gain promotion to Division 2.
A club highlight in recent years was the opening of a brand new £125,000 pavilion in 1998 when the opening ceremony was carried out by ex-England legend Fred Trueman.
Distinguished former players include Simon Verry who represented Herefordshire in the Minor Counties championship, and Richard Evans who played for the Western league representative eleven, opening the bowling with New Zealand test star Chris Pringle in an attack including the great Shane Warne. Henry Langford is the latest to emerge and in the 2003 season made a century for Gloucestershire 2nd against Worcestershire 2nd at New Road before making his Minor Counties debut for Herefordshire in 2004.
