Badgers Cricket Club – Home Page
A warm and friendly welcome from Badgers Cricket Club – a wandering cricket side who play only friendly cricket matches, mostly in the villages of Surrey – and who also enjoy a yearly three day tour (for many years to the Cotswolds, briefly to Dorset, for several years to Cheshire and more recently we have wandered in our touring too, taking in visits to Cheltenham, Taunton, Canterbury, Worcester and Milton Keynes). For more information about the club and this web site, take a peek at the about page.
The site continues to grow in scope, despite having made its first appearance twenty-five and a half years ago in March 2000, and in addition to up-to-the-minute results, summary scorecards, detailed scorecards, match reports and fixtures, you will also find more statistical information than you could shake a stick at (going all the way back to the club’s inaugural season in 1959), the Badgers ‘Honours Board’, a list of the current club officers and links to our social media ‘presence’.

The club’s regular scorer, more than a team’s worth of Badgers and a handful of their partners, including former Captain and Chairman Allan Butt and his wife Susi, gathered in the Kingswood Arms on Saturday night to celebrate the season just passed. Darrell gave his maiden speech, as vice-captain because Mark felt that he had missed too many games to do so himself, and the following trophies (or placeholders for same, since four of the six had not been returned) were handed out:
| Batting | Jake Gordon | 324 runs @ 36.0 |
| Bowling | Joe Hyatt | 12 wickets @ 12.0 |
| Fielding | Joe Hyatt | 8 catches |
| Captains | Mark Goldfinch | |
| Frank Butt | Sam Eade | (for his maiden 50 for the club) |
| ‘Wang Fu’ | Matt Stokes |
In addition caps were presented to Joe and, in absentia, Amy in recognition of their maiden hundreds for the club.
The historical cup winners page has been updated accordingly and some missing entries for the 2024 season added at the same time.

Finally after much heartache I have managed to create a meaningful record of the Saturday game on tour, albeit without much of a match report. The usual summarised details of the game can be found on the results page along with that minimal match report, the detailed scorecard, and the traditional Badgers’ focused scorecard.
The annual dinner and awards presentation is taking place next Saturday, 15th November. Hopefully all those that would like to be there have found out about it via the usual channels and will have it booked and paid for. If you feel you have been missed out and would like to be there please contact the skipper immediately.
The season report for the season just passed is now available and all of the other pages have been updated with the 2025 figures, including all decade by decade averages pages, the personal pages and the individual records page. In addition you can now find historical results for 2025 along with the leading performances and partnerships for the season just gone.
One worthy item of note is that, having made their club debuts on the same day and played regularly for the past several seasons, both Dean and Goldie, are now endowed with their own personal pages based on the wonderfully arbitrary set of rules by which such things are decided (see the opening paragraph of the personal pages index for the gory details).
As ever the end of season update brings a lot of other (mostly automatic) changes under the covers, so if you see anything that looks wrong please let me know and I will endeavour to sort it out.

The better part of a month has passed since our final match of the season, a somewhat damp but entertaining contest at Forest Green, and due to some strange technical issues with what the oppo had uploaded to Play-Cricket, I have only just got around to processing that game and trying to make some progress on the Saturday game from Tour weekend. Rather than leave the site untouched any longer I have added the updates for that final game and will make another update before the dinner once I have finalised the season details by completing the tour match.
The usual summarised details of the Forest Green game can be found on the results page along with a statistical notes only match report, the detailed scorecard, and the traditional Badgers’ focused scorecard.
The older What’s New entries are now held on separate pages, to keep this main page cleaner and smaller, and you can also navigate to them using the drop down menus at the top of the page (under Badgers’ Burrow).
This site is very much a work in progress and if you have any
