Are you a current or ‘X’ cricketer who loves the sound of leather on willow? Matches are very much about participation and enjoying the game. Our 20/20 format is 2 overs each bowling and retirement at 25 when batting, ensuring everyone gets involved. We are keen to recruit new members of all abilities and ages for 2021, whether you seek an odd game or regular involvement.

Engaging with the local community is at the heart of the new ECB strategy for developing cricket 'Inspiring Generations -- 2020-24'. The key to this strategy and the future of the game as a whole is making cricket accessible to all, engaging children and young people, and supporting local communities. These values are and have always been at the heart of village cricket at Newton Poppleford Cricket Club. 

The club hopes to kick off the 2021 season (subject to restrictions) on Sunday 18th April with an away game versus our long-standing opponents Woodbury & Newton St Cyrus. Our home fixtures played at the Recreation Ground, Back Lane, begin with a Twenty20 match against Lympstone on Thursday 22nd April at 6 pm. Following this, we play our first 40 over match at home against our close friends Tipton St John on Sunday 25th April, beginning at 1 pm. We will be strictly the following guidance from both the Government and the ECB to ensure that the season goes smoothly and safely. 

The club's fixtures and match sponsors can be viewed on the club's website at https://newtonpoppleford.cricketclubwebsite.co.uk/.
