In the absence of any Second XI cricket and the One Day Cup competition, the Bob Willis Trophy reports have been expanded to include a write up for each day’s play as well as the full scorecards. Sadly all fixtures were played behind closed doors so hopefully these extended reports will enable readers to get the feeling of actually being at the game! In addition, the Somerset Women’s team reports plus the Boys and Girls Pathway write ups are included in the first half of the book as they now come under the remit of Somerset CCC rather than the Somerset Cricket Board.

  • Sponsoring Shrewsbury Cricket Club Sponsoring Sponsoring Shrewsbury Shrewsbury Cricket Club Cricket Club Be Part of Shropshire’S Most Successful Ever Cricket Club
    SPONSORING SHREWSBURY CRICKET CLUB BE PART OF SHROPSHIRE’S MOST SUCCESSFUL EVER CRICKET CLUB Buoyed by the recent success enjoyed by the national team, cricket is enjoying a popular time at the top of the game and this is having a knock on effect at grass roots level. Nowhere is this better reflected than in the continued success achieved by Shrewsbury Cricket Club’s teams, with three national championships, 12 league titles, 18 cup wins and countless junior victories since the new millennium. Allied to this is the recent individual achievements of some of our players with no fewer than five earning full-time contracts with first-class county sides, ten being selected for Worcestershire’s Academy and over 20 representing Shropshire’s Minor Counties side. More recently, James Taylor (England senior side) and Ed Barnard (England U19s) have achieved national recognition. With four adult’s teams competing in league cricket on Saturdays and a 120 strong junior section boasting a total of 10 teams alongside both women’s and girl’s teams, Shrewsbury can arguably lay claim to being Shropshire’s premier cricket club. The men’s first team currently plays at the highest level they possibly can in the Birmingham and District Premier Cricket League Premier Division. Our second XI competes in division one of the reserve competition whilst our third and fourth teams continue to provide a stepping stone for the club’s talented youngsters to progress into the first eleven and beyond. As a club, we are looking to expand on this level of achievement and the growth of cricket in Shrewsbury by offering the chance for external organisations to become a part of the success that is Shrewsbury Cricket Club, through a range of sponsorship opportunities.
