FAQs

• Where is your ground?
  • Our ground, called the Butcher’s Ground, is on the south side of Ditcheat. The post code is BA4 6PL but the easiest way to find us is using What3Words (///cabbages.used.admiringly). The below image shows the entrance to the lane which leads to the ground.

• Do you play league cricket?
  • No, we are a friendly side playing friendly fixtures. We typically enter a couple of competitive six-a-side tournaments each season.

• Do you train?
  • We hold social net sessions throughout winter at the Millfield School Cricket Centre. From May to September we hold net sessions at The Butcher’s Ground on Thursday evenings from 6pm.

• Can women join the club?
  • Absolutely! We’re an inclusive club playing social cricket. Women are welcome. That said we’re still developing our facilities and currently do not have a loo on site or a female changing room. We are raising money to improve this.

• Can kids join?
  • Yes! Many players bring their kids along. There is no membership fee for U14s and many children play in our matches. We also run informal children/adult games at net sessions.

• I’ve never played cricket before. Does that matter?
  • No it doesn’t matter. We have several beginners at the club as well as a club kit bag.

• Do you have any socials?
  • Yes, we meet at the pub after each game and most net sessions. We also have a club dinner in winter.

• When are your matches and what format?
  • We play a mix of T20 games on weeknights (Wednesday, Thursday or Friday) and longer form games (typically 35 overs) on Sundays.
