Welcome to NANCLEDRA CRICKET - home of the "HILLBILLIES"
Nancledra Cricket Club, also known as the Nancledra 'Hillbillies', is a true village cricket club with our own ground, changing/teas pavilion and great village pub. The village of Nancledra is located in west Cornwall midway between St.Ives on the north coast and Penzance on the south coast (5 mins drive from each).
We only play friendly fixtures mostly against touring teams but also local league sides and other Cornish friendly sides, usually averaging 25 - 30 games per season. The majority of our games are against touring clubs several of whom have become good friends with us and return year after year because of their enjoyment of the games, the beautiful location and our great pub for afterwards. We play 40 over games on either Saturday or Sunday (depending on the preferred day of the visiting team) and also 20/20 games any midweek evening. We would describe our standard as middling with a couple of former Cornwall county players, a former Dorset county player and several ex-Cornwall league players. We are a competitive outfit with the rest of our squad comprising a varied mix of cricket skills, age and experience but all with the same outlook - to enjoy the cricket, win if we can but above all have a great time both on the pitch and in the pub afterwards. Our usual format for a weekend game is a 2.00pm start ,40 overs per side with tea between innings then afterwards to our 'local' The Engine Inn www.theengineinn.co.uk where they look after us really well with free post match grub and great beer (sorry the beer's not free!).
If you would like to arrange a fixture with us please contact Graeme Brown
