Bredon Cricket Club has secured tickets for the Worcestershire Rapids v Northamptonshire one-day match at New Road, Worcester, on Wednesday, July 27.

But from 8.30am we’re serving up free bacon rolls at the clubhouse.

Looking for a bolthole to watch the TV sport? Try Bredon Cricket Club

Sometimes watching high-profile sport at home can leave you feeling a bit underwhelmed.

There just isn’t the same excitement as watching it with a few friends, perhaps while enjoying a drink or two.

You can celebrate the great moments together, moan about the missed chances, and discuss all the drama afterwards.

Bredon Cricket Club, where we now have a wide-screen TV in our refurbished Hill Close clubhouse, is the ideal place to enjoy this summer’s exciting programme of televised sport.

Euro 2016 is just reaching its nail-biting knockout stage, the Olympic Games start on Friday, August 5, and Premier League football returns on Saturday, August 13 (Final Score).

Next up is England versus Iceland in Euro 2016. Kick off is at 8pm on Monday, June 27, and our bar is open. See you there!

PS. Non-members welcome, but a social membership only costs a bargain £10 a year.

What they’re saying about us

Come and play cricket with us this weekend!

Give it a go! It doesn’t matter if it is a while since you played… come and join us!

It may be a while since you last swung a cricket bat, but you’re really never too old to play England’s summer game.

So please help us out!

It’s the holiday season and we’re desperately short of players for our senior teams over the next two Saturdays in particular.

But we also need to bolster our playing ranks over the longer term, and would love to welcome some new faces.

We are not necessarily looking for top-drawer players (though we wouldn’t turn you down if you were). We want people who are reliable, want to do their best, and who enjoy the sort of camaraderie you only get in team sports.

We have three senior teams: a First XI, Second XI and a Third XI that includes a handful of juniors. So there is a level for everyone.

And don’t be put off if it is a while since you played, or even if you haven’t played very much in the past. We’ll make sure someone in the team looks after you and reminds you about the rules of the game. We’ll also provide some basic coaching to help polish up your technique.

Our chairman even says he’ll buy a jug of beer for any newcomer who takes five wickets or scores 50 runs. Now that’s an incentive!

You can find out where our teams are playing over the next two weeks here.

If you want to know more use the contact form below or call Ian Fenney on 07760 244410 or Clive Fenney on 07813 214068.

England will qualify with a point and will top their group for certain with victory.

Our fully-licensed bar will, of course, be open selling drinks at some of the most competitive prices around, and we’ll even lay on some complimentary slices of pizza! So much more fun that watching at home!
