Swanton Morley Cricket Club
Club History and Information:

After a lapse of about twenty years the Club was reformed in 1983 and since then has become firmly established and successful with a membership of around forty players whose ages range from 6 to the mid 60’s. Home matches are played at the “Angel Cricket Ground,” Hoe Road, Swanton Morley which has a large car park with improved access for the disabled. The Club is a member of the West Norfolk Cricket League, games are played on Saturdays, and the Mid Norfolk Sunday League. We also run a youth team. There are also mid-week evening fixtures. Spectators are always made welcome.

Adult practices are on Thursdays from 6:00pm onwards, while on Monday evenings, 6:00pm onwards, there are special coaching sessions for youngsters (boys and girls) aged 6-14 years.

The current annual subscription is £10 with a concessionary rate for students of £5.

The annual subscription for anyone wishing to be Vice President is £20. Non-players often welcome the opportunity to support the Club in this way and their interest and help is much appreciated.

Aims of the Club:
  1. To play good cricket with good humour and good grace in the hope that, whatever the result, both teams will go home happy.
  2. To create an atmosphere in which players are valued for themselves and not just their cricketing abilities.
  3. To make every effort to secure a satisfactory level of involvement in the game for all those representing the club.
