After many years of playing in the Cotswold Hills League, and after consulation with players, the Club has taken the decision to move Leagues. The 1st XI will start in Div 6 of the GCCL (Gloucestershire County Cricket League) and the 2nd XI will join the CGF (Cheltenham, Gloucester, Forest of Dean League).
This was a difficult decision which the Club hopes will encourage more particpation from adult cricketers due to lower driving distances and more local competition, however we parted as friends from CHL after many, many happy years, and some successful ones :)
Adult Indoor sessions will be as follow for winter 2024 - at the Sports Hall in Gretton Road - 6.00 p.m. to 7.00 p.m.

We actively encourage young cricketers into our adult teams - starting in the second team and graduating to the first team. We offer informal 20/20 matches during the season, playing against the hockey club for example, to help young cricketers get used to the adult game.
We like to win, but it is not a win at all costs mentality at our Club. We like to play hard and party hard, usually having drinks with the opposition after the game. Our teas are amongst the best around, we have a licensed bar and we often have a barbecue or a curry after the game. We play within the Spirit of Cricket and positively encourage respectful behaviour towards the umpire and all players.
