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 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’.

A bitterly cold Ham Common saw the Badgers fall to their first defeat of the season last Sunday in a high scoring contest. 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.
PLEASE NOTE that I have also updated the previous statistical notes to reflect the fact that Mark’s diving one handed catch at slip in the Churchleigh game was his 500th catch for the club in games that counted towards the averages. Quite why this feat was not on my list of pending milestones I cannot say, but my apologies to the skipper for not acknowledging it at the time.

Sadly today’s game at Long Ditton had to be cancelled earlier in the week due to our inability to raise a team.
A return trip to Churchleigh, in the verdant surroundings of Greatpark in Chelsham near Warlingham, after last year’s maiden visit, got the new season off to a green and pleasant start. 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 start of a new season brings significant changes to the site, many of them hidden under the covers, and whilst the process is almost entirely automated these days it is still possible that problems creep in so please let me know if you spot anything that looks to be awry.

The 2026 season should begin this afternoon and I have rather belatedly managed to get the fixtures added to both our Play-Cricket site and the fixtures page here.
The next update to the site will not be until after the first game of the season has been played, at which point everything can roll over to the new season by adding pages for the 2026 week-to-week detail.
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).
This site is very much a work in progress and if you have any
comments, suggestions or would simply like more information then please
