NEW TEAM – NEW PLAYERS WANTED!
The Easton Cowfolk Cricket Club was formed in 2022 to reastablish a cricket team to represent the wider club. After having had a year of net sessions and a few friendlies, we have now entered The North Somerset Cricket League for the 2023 season. The League is a Sunday league of 40 over games that takes place from May through to September. The home pitch will be at the Rose Green centre in Whitehall. Cricket nets during the season will also be at Rose Green.
We are looking for players to join whether it be just for nets, a few games or the whole season. The League is an adult league for over 14’s, however we are happy for under 14’s to attend nets with appropriate adult supervision. Membership is open to all under the Easton Cowfolk Clubs principals of anti- racist, anti-sexist, anti-fascist, anti-homophobic and anti-transphobic. We respect the rights, dignity and worth of every person and will treat everyone equally regardless of age, ability, gender, race, ethnicity, religious belief, sexuality or social/economic status.
Absolute beginners welcome!

The Green Otters beat the Purple Jags The question is how many emails does it take to organise a cricket friendly? The answer is a number approaching infinity. Having got together about 24 willing participants to play a friendly on Sunday someone thought to check the weather forecast. Finding that is was going to be a beautiful day on Saturday but piss down on Sunday the match was moved. 20 willing participants were found and after a final flurry of emails to discuss the dress code the Cowboys headed to Farmborough for an intra-club friendly....
