2011 Season
Welcome to Avebury Cricket Club’s web-site – containing everything you’ll ever need to know about the World’s Only Cricket Club Located Within 25 Yards Of A 4,000-Year Old Prehistoric Monument.
Having successfully made it through twenty one years of uninterrupted hilarity, the Club is now contemplating the 2011 Season. Once again the fixture list is jam-packed with tasty treats. Our Sunday side looks forward to renewing old rivalries with friends from villages all over the South of England. Our Saturday Crusader Wiltshire League Division One side ("village cricket with points") looks forward to 18 adrenaline-charged encounters with Wiltshire finest sides, in our ninth season of this form of cricket.
Fancy A Game?
Some twist of fate has landed the Mighty Avebury equidistant from the sprawling developments of Calne, Swindon, Devizes and Avebury. All these towns contain many cricket teams. The Mighty Avebury has a population of a little under 400, and the vast majority are unlikely to be attending pre-season nets. So, if you live anywhere near, and fancy a change of scene, please get in touch (see our contacts section for more details).
No village cricket web-site is complete without the much-used phrase "we are always looking for new fixtures", but we really do mean it and we're easy to get hold of (see our contacts section for more details).
If You Are Still Reading…
You can click on any of the hyperlinked words in this paragraph to view averages for the last I-don’t-know-how-many years, our results, and of course the now-famous match reports going all the way back to 2005, and on which so many of you have been good enough to share your opinions in the past. As with last season, following further discussions with authorities we will maintain our policy of "dumbing down" some of the racier comments that make it into those reports.
