Senior Teams

Oswestry Cricket Club is proud to have 4 Senior teams that play in the Shropshire County Cricket League at the weekends, and a Mid-week team, The Aardvarks, who play in the Shropshire Midweek League.

Normally, our 1st XI and 2nd XI play on Satrudays and our 3rd and 4th XI's play on Sundays. This ensures that no matter what (other than the weather) there is alwasy a game going on at The Stonehouse Oval over the weekends.

The Senior teams play 45 to 50 overs on Satrudays and between 30 and 40 overs on Sundays. 

We believe that it is important to have 4 teams, with the 3rds and the 4ths playing on Sundays. With such a succesfull Junior section, we believe that it is vital that we give our Juniors a pathway to senior cricket and these teams, especially our 4ths, always have a balance between Senior and Junior players allowing a solid platform for our Juniors to grow into the Senior game.

Our Aardvarks team play during the week, nornally on a Tuesday or a Thursday. The Aardvarks games are T20 format, and our aim is to give younger players the oppourtunity of playing the T20 format during the week, giving them great experience that they can take forward in this format, and in the longer format played at the weekends. It is a little more light-heartd, but as usual, we play to win!
