Hugh Norris is a youth coach and committee team member at Marlborough Cricket Club where they’re looking for junior members and hoping to start a girls’ team

Marlborough Cricket Club is located on the edge of Savernake Forest, in the beautiful market town of Marlborough – hence our club nickname of ‘The Trees’. From our ground you can enjoy stunning views of the Wessex Downs.

We are dedicated to promoting cricket and providing a welcoming, and inclusive environment for all. Whether you have experience, or are completely new to the game, Marlborough Cricket Club is the perfect place to have fun, hone your skills, make lifelong friendships, and enjoy everything the game offers on and off the pitch.

Growing our junior section

Several of our current first team players started their cricket in our Junior section.

We are passionate about providing cricket opportunities for youngsters in the town and are actively seeking new Junior members.

We offer both soft ball and hard ball cricket and all coaches are ECB (England and Wales Cricket Board) qualified, DBS checked, and first aid trained.

Our focus on girls’ cricket – free taster sessions

The women’s game has thrived in recent years, both on and off the pitch and are keen to play our part in helping grow the girls’ game.

We’d love to hear from you if you would like to play, as we look to establish Marlborough CC’s first girls’ cricket team.

We are offering free taster sessions throughout the summer and have plans to add a girls’ team training night too, subject to levels of interest. No experience is necessary, and all equipment is provided, so do get in touch!

Our junior groups

‘All Stars’ (ages 5-8) and ‘Dynamos’ (8-11) takes place on Fridays at 6pm over 8 weeks.

Junior training for under 11’s, 13’s and 15’s takes place on Mondays from 6-7.30pm.

Off the pitch

We offer many opportunities to enjoy the social side of cricket too. We have our own pavilion, bar and barbecue and organise socials at the club and beyond through the summer and winter months.
