Sherston Magna Cricket Club (SMCC), located in the stunning village of Sherston in the Cotswolds, is gearing up for an exciting cricket event. Whether you're a seasoned player or just starting out, this event is perfect for cricket enthusiasts of all levels.
SMCC has a remarkable history, with cricket being played in Sherston for many years. The current club, established in 1993 by passionate cricket lovers such as Neil Forster and Chairman John Matthews, has played a major role in re-establishing cricket in Sherston. In fact, in 2000, they constructed a magnificent pavilion at the Pinkney Park grounds.
The club boasts a Saturday league team that competes in Division One of the Cotswold and District Cricket Association, as well as a Sunday team that participates in friendly fixtures at Pinkney Park. But it's not just the senior teams that contribute to SMCC's success – their junior section is thriving too. In 2020, they will have three league sides for U11, U13, and U15 players, and they organise fun-filled U9 festivals throughout the summer. Additionally, the club is committed to introducing cricket to young children aged 5 to 8 through the ECB initiative known as 'All Stars Cricket', which will return in 2020.
Take advantage of SMCC's state-of-the-art practice facility, opened in 2015 at Pinkney Park. The facility features two top-notch practice nets, allowing players to enhance their skills. Practice sessions for different age groups are held on various days throughout the week. 'All Stars Cricket' practice takes place on Sunday mornings, while U9s and U11s have their sessions on Monday evenings. U13s practice on Monday evenings as well, and U15s along with the seniors have their practices on Tuesday evenings.
