ABOUT ROSE & CROWN CRICKET CLUB

After a few too many beers one evening celebrating the 2005 Ashes victory over the Aussies, the Cricket Club idea was concieved. We formed the Club so a bunch of pals could play a few friendly matches in the summer.

We are just a bunch of chaps who like the social aspect of playing the beautiful game of cricket. Only the odd one of us has ever played seriously before and then only to a poor standard.

We would like to play friendly matches against the same standard of opposition ie:- works teams, social teams, beginers, 3rd 11's, seniors, pub teams etc and not against full strength league teams looking to boost their ego's. We want to play the game to have a bit of fun. We do not mind losing whatsoever but obviously it is no fun for either team if we get thrashed.

Located in Creswell, Derbyshire, we do not have a home ground at present so would be looking to play any matches away from home at first. I needed we could probably hire a local ground near to us for a "home" fixture or two.

If anyone reading this fancies playing us please get in touch. We would like to play full matches (30-40 overs or so) Saturday's or Sunday's and midweek evening games..
