Now a bit about CORSHAM CRICKET CLUB ...

The Club runs four teams on a Saturday and two on a Sunday, and finds teams for around five Midweek matches which tend to be against Clubs visiting the area from other parts of the Country. The Club is Clubmark accredited and runs a Cricket Academy for U-9s to U-15s (currently approx 80 members).

The 1st and 2nd Saturday XIs currently play in the West of England Premier League Division One (the highest level of Club cricket in this part of the world!). The League covers the counties of Gloucester, Somerset and Wiltshire, which requires travelling as far north as Cheltenham, and as far south as Taunton. Most teams have an overseas 'professional', and a Gloucester/Somerset contracted player.

The 3rd XI gained promotion to the Wiltshire League Division Two at the end of the 2007 season which is around six rungs below WEPL Div One, while the 4th XI have enjoyed promotions in each of the past three seasons and now play in Division Four of the Wiltshire League. Both teams play their home fixtures on a non-turf pitch located at the Leafy Lane Playing Fields in Rudloe approximately three miles from the Station Road Clubhouse, where excellent changing and refreshment facilities exist.

The Sunday 1st XI is a mixture of available players from all the Saturday teams, while the 2nd XI is made of the remainder of those available for selection (but tends to be a higher percentage of junior members).

The Sunday 1st XI plays in the 'Village Sunday League', in addition to a number of friendly fixtures. The Sunday 2nds play friendly cricket (usually 40 overs a side).

The Midweek XI relies heavily upon availability, and can be of variable quality as a result. However, Midweek games tend to be more about the social side, and making sure that everyone participates, Captains making sensible allowances for imbalances.

Playing membership currently numbers around sixty, and there are around twenty Juniors who would come into the reckoning. With qualified coaches looking after the Cricket Academy, a number of very talented 12-16 year olds are regularly playing senior cricket. Teams are selected on merit, but the Club has a policy of ensuring that three or four junior members are selected in the 3rd and 4ths and Sunday 2nds each week.

When weather permits, outdoor training and net practice using a new three-lane artificial net facility starts around the Easter weekend. Throughout the season, Club practice night is from 6.15pm on Thursday evening, although there is usually someone in the nets any day of the week during the season. The Club has a bowling machine which is used under qualified supervision to help batsmen improve their technique.

The Club currently has around 250 registered non-playing Supporter Members, some of whom play in a local 'Pub League' competition organised by the Club.

In addition to providing a convivial atmosphere in which to enjoy the cricket when there’s a match in progress, the Club offers a well-stocked bar which includes a number of guest beers. Early in 2005, the Club installed a large screen video projection and sound system. This has meant that sporting events broadcast by Sky TV are a regular attraction for the membership. During the winter months the Club holds regular social events including quizzes and live music. Details of forthcoming events can be found on the Club’s official website (www.corshamcc.co.uk) (currently under re-construction).

Despite it’s location close to the centre of Corsham, the Clubhouse patio offers a surprisingly quiet place to just sit in the sun and watch the world go by.
