Minster Lovell Cricket Club

Welcome to the website of Minster Lovell Cricket Club.
The club was founded in 1896, and in over 100 years, has provided cricket for the people of Minster Lovell and the surrounding towns and villages.
For the 2009 season, the club will field three teams in the Oxfordshire Cricket Association, with teams competing in Divisions 2, 4 and 9.
It is hoped that with a new influx of talent, along with some very promising youth players coming through the ranks, that the club will progress further up the ladder with an eye on promotion.
The club has a very strong youth setup, with teams from under 11 upto under 17, and is also one of the first clubs in the county have received the Clubmark accreditation, meaning your child is guaranteed to be coached with best practices in mind.
As well as a thriving youth setup, the club also boasts five senior teams in total, with a first, second and third XI playing in the OCA League on a Saturday, and an A and B side playing friendly cricket on Sundays.
The club has a second ground at Brize Norton, which is used for all Saturday third XI fixtures as well as a number of friendlies throughout the season.
The club are ambitious to progress both on and off the field, and hopes to continue to develop all its teams in the future.
Anybody interested in playing for the club at any level, or who would like to help out in other ways, please contact Sue Cross on 01993 774631.
Minster Lovell Cricket Club's senior teams have been sponsored by Charterville Felt Roofing for four years.
Andy Crawford will captain the first team in 2009, with Stuart O'Brien in charge of the second XI and Dave Mayers the third team.
Sunday cricket, by its very nature, is a friendly affair, and the two teams this year will be captained by Nathan Harris and Keith Wright.
Last year proved a big success, with the Second XI winning Division Five of the OCA and a number of very young players being given a chance in senior cricket, which, it is hoped, will bode well for the future development of the club, which now boasts some of the finest facilities in Oxfordshire.
