Can you still swing a bat?

Over 45? Can you still swing a bat? This might just be the competition for you.

After the successful first year of the Over 45s Cup Competition in 2015, the competition will be run again this season.

Hobsons Brewery are now the sponsor, and further details of their support will be released soon.

The competition is aimed at clubs who have older players, aged 45 and over, who want to play cricket in a fun and relaxed environment.

The competition will run as a cup and plate (for losing teams from the first round) competition, starting in mid-June and finishing with the final in early September.

If your club is interested in joining the competition, but you don’t feel you have enough players, then there is an option for two or more clubs to work together and create a ‘cluster’ club.
