Seniors To Be Arranged...Juniors Friday 18th May 8PM   Wickets were falling in Redditch from as early as 1848 when a cricket club was formed. It is thought that Victoria Cricket Club was the original team although a game is on record from 1850.Redditch School defeated King Edwards School, Bromsgrove, by five wickets, but the sport was only played now and again.Men left the cricket field and went to work in factories by the age of 19 or 20 to support their wives. This led to the game being played by mainly professional people like shopkeepers.The club actually took on an All England XI in 1863, attracting 1500 to the match, which was drawn. The club moved to its present site in 1896. A friendly team ran from 1900 on Saturdays and Wednesdays, along with a league team which held the Championship Cup when the Redditch and District League disbanded. ST Huins, WG Thomas, RW Michie and Albert Griffin were all instrumental in running the club. Formed in 1848 Redditch Cricket Club are pushing to be one of the most forward thinking clubs in Worcestershire with four Saturday teams led by 1st team skipper Luke Davis playing in the Crusader Worcestershire League.Two Sunday teams play each week in The Worcestershire Sunday League against local opposition.

Redditch CC 1ST XI slipped to a second successive defeat on Saturday as Droitwich sneaked home in a low scoring thriller winning by just two wickets.
