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’.



What’s New

24 Aug 2025

A reminder for any potential spectators that we are at Old Whitgiftians today. Details can be found on the fixtures page.

After last season’s two T20s nonsense this year’s visit to Banstead saw us effectively beaten in a single T20 innings by an opposition chasing the 204 that we had amassed in a 40 over innings. 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.

Sadly Blindley Heath are unable to get a side out for this coming Sunday but thankfully Darrell has been able to find us a game at Old Whitgiftians, who we last played in 2019. Details of the replacement game can be found on the fixtures page.

Hopefully the problems with uploading results to Play-Cricket are behind us (at least until the off season) and I have been able to finalise the details from the Sanderstead game. Once I have published this update I will start work on last weekend’s visit to Banstead and hope to get that uploaded here too before heading off for this Sunday’s game.

Our first ever game against Sanderstead actually took place on the Warlingham ground and saw the Badgers tumble to yet another defeat. 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. Whilst waiting for my Play-Cricket access to be sorted out I was also able to fill in some statistical notes for West Wimbledon.

PLEASE NOTE that we have had to cancel tomorrow’s game against Merstham as we were unable to field a side for the second time in three weeks.

I was hoping to upload the details of last weekend’s thrashing by Sanderstead but due to technical issues with Play-Cricket I cannot get the result uploaded and therefore I have not been able to complete the usual weekly process. Since I have also been having problems getting the Saturday game on tour set up, because it was a scratch side and thus there are hoops that I have to jump through to create a fixture on Play-Cricket, things are in something of a mess. Fingers crossed I can get both problems resolved at some point in the next week, but I will not be able to investigate further until this coming Thursday.

18 Jul 2025

Off on tour to Canterbury this weekend but still somewhat befuddled as to what sort of games we will be playing when. More to come after the fact.

A rare ‘home’ game against West Wimbledon at Woodmansterne on Sunday saw the Badgers canter to their fifth win of the season. The usual summarised details of the game can be found on the results page along with 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).
