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-four 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’.



What’s New

25 Aug 2024

We played two T20 games at Banstead last weekend, one on the back pitch whilst the women were playing on the main pitch and the other on the main pitch after they had finished but using black sightscreens and a pink ball – whoever decided that those were a viable replacement for the normal red ball clearly did so for other than cricketing reasons – and the Badgers won both of those games. However, as things stand I can only offer you the details on our Play-Cricket site because two games on the same day has broken things in a number of interesting ways across my whole code base and it may well take some considerable time to fix them all.

A return to a once regular opponent in Stoke D'Abernon saw the Badgers notch up yet another defeat, this time in a game that we really should have made a better fist of. The usual summarised details of the 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.

11 Aug 2024

Last Sunday saw the Badgers visit a new opponent in Bookham, who play on one of the oddest shaped grounds I have ever encountered, and go down to another defeat in a close fought contest. The usual summarised details of the 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.

10 Aug 2024

PLEASE NOTE that the game originally scheduled for this weekend has been replaced by a visit to old foes Stoke d'Abernon. Usual details on the fixtures page.

Last Sunday’s scoring record is still being worked on due to issues with both Play-Cricket Scorer and the paper scorebook. I am nearly there but needed to announce the fixture change before it was too late, so there may be another update before we leave for the game tomorrow.

4 Aug 2024

There was no game last Sunday, due to our inability to raise even half a team, and the yearly pilgrimage to Ruxley Lane did not go well for the Badgers the weekend before with a heavy defeat on the field being followed by Ollie’s motorbike being stolen from the car park. The usual summarised details of the 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).
