There is a night of live music at Bredon Cricket club on Saturday, June 17.

Cheltenham-based  The Bridge are performing at our Hill Close clubhouse from 8pm.

Admission is free, members and non-members welcome, and our fully licensed bar will be open.

The band, who formed in 2001, have played hundreds of gigs across the UK and Europe.

They deliver a vibrant mix of music and showmanship that makes them popular across age groups.

Their playlist includes covers of popular numbers by the likes of Fleetwood Mac, Ed Sheeran, Paul Simon and the Undertones.

The band normally comprises Rob McEwan (vocals and guitar), Mark Nye (bass guitar and vocals), Frank Moran (guitar and vocals), and Mark Millward on drums, but on Saturday only Rob and one other band member will be performing at our intimate clubhouse venue.

See you there!

Bredon Under 13s enjoyed a comfortable 84-run victory over Cookhill.

Cookhill, batting first, scored 219 for five against some efficient Bredon bowling.

A solid performance. Well done, boys.

Bredon First XI returned to winning ways with an emphatic victory over Wormelow at Hill Close.

Wormelow were 194 for eight at the end of their innings, but Bredon overhauled them at the cost of just four wickets.

The win puts last week’s loss (their first of the season) against Chaddesley Corbett behind them and leaves the side second in Worcestershire County League’s Division Two (First XI), six points behind Evesham.

It was also a good day for the Second XI, who won by seven wickets away at Halesowen.

The Third XI, the club’s development team, lost at home to Bewdley. The visitors reached a target of 131, revised because of poor weather, at a cost of just two wickets. The match was a valuable opportunity for two young Bredon players, Joe Hunt and Luke Plain, to get their first taste of senior cricket.
