Badgers Cricket Club – Season 2025 Match Results
This page provides immediate access to the latest results for season 2025. The above links, and the navigation bar at the top of the screen, also make it possible to get at the running results and match reports for the other seasons since this web site has been in existence, as well as the results for the seasons back to 1959. Seasons prior to 1984 do not include information about individual performances since full scorebook details have not (yet??) been input to the database for those years.
The match reports page makes it possible to see the reports from all games in the current season, not just the current one in the section below. To get at the reports you can either select the link in the menu at the top of the page, or indeed in the text above, or click on the date and opponent details in the results table below, which should be a hyperlink directly to the report for that game.

My apologies for the lack of a report for this game, but nothing was written at the time and there is little or no chance that anything will be now
Statistical Notes: Four debutants this week, in Max Christopher, Jack Murphy, Joe Prince and Nick Vagg, which is the most in a single game since Valley End in 1999 when those four new players all never played again – let us hope that is not an omen. Max Christopher had the best afternoon of the group, taking a wicket and scoring 20 runs, whilst poor Nick Vagg most certainly had the worst of it, pulling a muscle whilst chasing after a ball up what the locals apparently call “Hamstring Hill” and then recording a duck when bravely/foolishly coming out to bat at number eleven.
There was speculation as to whether Darrell’s interrupted over was the longest in club history, spanning as it did from about 14:17 to 16:30 but sadly there is no way to be sure as the information simply is not recorded anywhere and even were I to dig back through the scorebooks the chances are that would not be enlightening in this case.
Darrell made his 293rd appearance for the Badgers, taking him past Greggy into seventh place on the lifetime games played slate with his great uncle Allan Butt just one game ahead in sixth place. The second of his three wickets on the day also took him past Dave Tickner into sixth place among all-time wicket takers, although Allan is a long way ahead in fifth on that list.
Billy has now batted 112 times for the club, taking him past Phil Walters into sole possession of 27th place on the all-time innings list.
Our innings as recorded in the scorebook was one of those logical anomalies where the game cannot be recreated by running the bowling through my CheckScore program and investigations (helped by the fact that I was umpiring and keeping my own running tally) suggest that Jacqueline may have missed a run in the tenth over. I have chosen to just cross the batters over at that point so that the rest of the innings make sense rather than alter the score. I have also elected not to bother changing the margin of victory to reflect the agreed target as my code does not cope with that and I don’t fancy delaying things further by adding that feature.
