Badgers Cricket Club – Home Page

A warm and friendly welcome from Badgers Cricket Club – a wandering cricket side who play only friendly cricket matches, mostly in the villages of Surrey – and who also enjoy a yearly three day tour (for many years to the Cotswolds, briefly to Dorset, for several years to Cheshire and more recently we have wandered in our touring too, taking in visits to Cheltenham, Taunton, Canterbury, Worcester and Milton Keynes). For more information about the club and this web site, take a peek at the about page.

The site continues to grow in scope, despite having made its first appearance twenty-six and a half years ago in March 2000, and in addition to up-to-the-minute results, summary scorecards, detailed scorecards, match reports and fixtures, you will also find more statistical information than you could shake a stick at (going all the way back to the club’s inaugural season in 1959), the Badgers ‘Honours Board’, a list of the current club officers and links to our social media ‘presence’.



What’s New

15 Aug 2026

PLEASE NOTE that we will be making a return visit to North Holmwood to play Old Dorkinian tomorrow, having had to drop out of our game with Merstham last week due to being unable to raise a side. The fixtures page has been updated accordingly.

Having made some sort of sense of the scorebook from the Sunday tour game at Whitstable, best as I was able, that contest is now incorporated into the Badgers historical record (I can tell you no more, as I was not there). The usual summarised details of the game can be found on the results page along with a statistical notes only match report, the detailed scorecard, and the traditional Badgers’ focused scorecard.

Hopefully Sunday before last’s game will cause me rather less grief and will be up here in time for me to get tomorrow’s new game sorted out as well before the week is out.

31 Jul 2026

PLEASE NOTE that Darrell has found us a fixture this week, since we have been able to get eleven members together, and we will be playing Old Dorkinian at the North Holmwood ground where we’ve previously played both the home side and Tadworth. Usual details, including map links, can be found on the fixtures page.

The nearly month long hiatus which started with my not going on tour and spread across two weeks with no game due to not being able to raise a team should come to an end this coming Sunday. The website has not been updated due to issues with Play-Cricket access that happened concurrently but are (hopefully) also fixed as I was able to upload the second half of the Oxted game this past weekend after nearly two weeks of back and forth with their helpdesk.

Yet another day toiling in the heat, this time at Oxted’s second ground, saw the Badgers fall just short of victory in a game where any result was still possible at the start of the final over and the draw was probably a fair result. The usual summarised details of the game can be found on the results page along with a statistical notes only match report, the detailed scorecard, and the traditional Badgers’ focused scorecard.

In the interim, having got my hands on the scorebook, I will get to work on the tour game and see if Darrell’s first bout as scorer for some years was a fruitful one!?

26 Jun 2026

PLEASE NOTE that we have been unable to raise a team for this coming Sunday and thus our visit to Warlingham has been cancelled.

Another scorching hot day at Chipstead, Couldson & Walcountians’ High Road ground where the Badgers received a good hiding to end their four game winning streak. The usual summarised details of the game can be found on the results page along with a statistical notes only match report, the detailed scorecard, and the traditional Badgers’ focused scorecard.

The older What’s New entries are now held on separate pages, to keep this main page cleaner and smaller, and you can also navigate to them using the drop down menus at the top of the page (under Badgers’ Burrow).
