Cricket in Whitchurch on Thames
We play village cricket in the village of Whitchurch on Thames in South Oxfordshire, right by the River Thames. We're also just over the River Thames from Pangbourne in West Berkshire.
Club Supporters 2009
We'd like to thank Warwickshire, Hampshire, Lancashire, Somerset, Gloucestershire, and Durham County Cricket Clubs for their generous support of the club this season.
Whitchurch Cricket Club
We field two weekend teams: one Saturday and one Sunday side. We play friendly matches against local clubs, touring sides and on tour ourselves. Most games are 35 or 40 over matches, though we do play a number of summer evening 20/20 games.
This year's tours took us to Brittany in France (Allez Les Blaireaux!) and our regular invasion of Northamptonshire (Go Badgers!).
Other recent tours have included France in 2006 and South Africa as well as special one-man tours of Australia last winter (Go Cormac!) and snow cricket in Spain.
We have a diverse squad of players ranging in age from 14 to 60-something drawn from Whitchurch itself, the local area and several commuting players from London, Hampshire, Sussex, and further afield.
Our stats prove conclusively that we welcome all levels of ability.
We welcome spectators and new players, so if you're interested come and join to watch a home game or join us for some relaxed but competitive cricket.
The club was formed in 1877 and we have been at our compact ground since 1923. The cricket club is beautifully set with a backdrop of wooded hills in The Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is a delight to play our home games here.
