In 2007/8 Indoor season our 1st VI have recently been crowned champions of the Swindon Leaque. The 2nd VI play in division 3.
A founder member of the Wiltshire Youth Cricket League we have teams at Under 9, 11, 13 and 15 age groups competing in leagues and tournaments run by the Wilts Cricket Board. Testament to the qualities of this Youth setup include the fact that 5 First Team players in 2007 were former youth team players. Approximately half of the 2nd and 3rd X1s are regularly made up of Youth Team players.
With this wide range of activity we are always on the lookout for players, umpires, scorers, and most importantly Youth Coaches/Assistants.
The club are very keen to support the training of Umpires, Scorers, Youth coaches who want to pursue qualifications for their roles.
We play on two excellent grounds. Our main ground and HQ is situated at the Gerard Buxton Memorial ground, Rylands Way. The second ground is at Ballards Ash. Members are able to use the Sports Association clubhouse that is open 7 days a week.
