Cricket has been played in Sidbury for over 50-years, the club having been founded in 1972. 'The Millfield', the club's beautiful ground, is in the heart of the village, just off the Millennium Green.
Throughout its history the club has mainly focused on playing other local village sides and touring teams looking to explore East Devon and the South West, but had a brief 5-year foray into the East Devon league in the late 1990s.
At the end of the 2018 season the players and committee felt it was the right time continue with the development of the club. So much so, that the club decided to venture back into League Cricket in 2019 joining Devon League Division H. Progress has been swift with the team now sitting in E Division. The senior team have also entered two T20 competitions.
The club has continued to play friendly cricket alongside league commitments, and also has a thriving junior section - running All Stars cricket for 5-8 year-olds, an Under 10s and Under 12s. This is an exciting time to be involved in cricket in Sidbury.
The club is always looking for new members and players, especially from the Sidbury area. Adult nets are on Tuesday evenings with juniors on Friday evenings, enthusiasm and commitment are more important than cricketing skills, so please contact Chris FitzHenry or Alex Paget if you are interested in playing or especially if you fancy turning your hand to umpiring.
Keep an eye out on social media for details of fixtures, all are welcome to come and support Sidbury!
