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: Ben Rayner made his Badgers debut in this game, returning very creditable bowling figures whilst regularly watching the spoils go to those he was bowling in tandem with.
Goldie commented after the game that the day’s team had felt like a rather different Badgers line up to other games he had played in, and when I checked out the numbers it turned out that the total number of appearances for the club (caps, if you will) was 628, with most of those coming from Darrell and Jake, and that represents the least capped team we have fielded since a game against Rowan in 2000 where only 506 games of Badgers’ experience took to the field (and there are three names that even I don’t remember, perhaps because they only played four games between them, all in that 2000 season). To put this in further context, there was a bloke watching from the sidelines and scoring the game into his tablet, who has more than that 628 on his own (at least 636). Had I been fit enough to play and make up the eleven that would have more than doubled the number of caps on the field!?
Extras, courtesy of eleven byes, three leg byes, eleven wides and a no ball, contributed 26 runs to the Badgers total of 72, which represents 36.1% of that score and, at least going back to 1984 which is as far as I have that level of detail, is the highest proportion ever, bettering the 27 of 78 (34.6%) from the game against Epsom Methodists in 1997.
