Pre-Season Events

2026 will see a few changes at the club in the way that we operate, but hopefully not in the way that we meet and enjoy the game of cricket. Below are some things to look out for.

Net Training - Tuesday evenings

Pre-season nets start on Tuesday January 13th at 8.05pm and will repeat every Tuesday until the final session on March 24th. The venue for this training is Cothill Day & Boarding Prep School, Cothill, Abingdon. To join a session, all you need to do is ensure you're on the Spond invitation and show your availability there. This system is also used to generate the payment of £4 for each session, once you've attended. If you don't have access to this group on Spond contact Jon: [email protected]. Cost: £5 adults, £3.50 junior /student/ unemployed.

Ground Force Day - Sat April 11

Before any of us can bowl a ball, the pitch and grounds need tons of work - so we need your help. There are literally hundreds of jobs that need to be done to open up the pavilion, prepare the pitches and outfield, trim back the hedges and ensure the drainage of the whole area isn't blocked! Any amount of time you can spare will be brilliant - some come down for an hour or two and help out!

Warm-up Game - April 25

We'll all be a little rusty after the winter - so this a chance to dust off the cobwebs and get into the swing of feeling bat on ball...or working on that out-swinging delivery! Check Spond to ensure you secure your place in a team for a little fun as well as to prepare for the season. All are welcome. If you don't have access to this group on Spond contact Jon: [email protected]

League Season start - May 09

Enough of the chat, the real thing starts here. Be sure you're ready by this date! All match availability will be called for via the Spond app - so please ensure you've downloaded it from your App Store prior to this date. Match fees will be requested to you directly through the same app to keep all things in one place. If you don't have access to this group on Spond contact Jon: [email protected]
