Who we are:

Welcome to USW Cricket Club! We offer cricket all year round (September – May) for players of all abilities! Whether you’ve never played before or you were born with a bat in your hand, we would love you to join us and see what we are all about.

Training:

The club train every single week within term time on a Tuesday evening between 8-9.45pm. We are based in Treforest Campus Sports Centre whilst also training at international standard facilities in Cardiff every so often. We our coached by a Level 2 coach (and former Otter) who also offers 1:2:1 sessions throughout the year.

Matches:

We compete in Indoor Bucs Men’s West B Division along with 8 other teams. The competition takes place across two weekends between October and November and is a great opportunity for new faces to showcase their skills. This can also offer newcomers their first taste of playing at Sophia Gardens! Our outdoor season runs between April – May where we will play 5 competitive league games along with a number of friendlies which will vary from high level Welsh sides to social teams.

Socials:

We are proud to offer a great social side to our club. This includes regular gatherings whether you're a drinker or not. Many former and current Otters are now lifelong friends who first met at the cricket club!
