Welcome all to another packed season of cricket on the hill!
This year we already have over 100 matches scheduled across the club, and are excited to provide even more opportunities for cricket - the women's hardball team will make their competitive debut, as will our new Development XI, and the as-yet-unnamed Hundred franchise will take a bow... all dependent on the rain actually stopping at some point though
The off-season has again been productive, with indoor league cricket continuing and excellent turnout at training sessions I'm heartened by the way the club continues to grow and the inclusive attitudes on display at all these sessions.
The committee has also been working hard to put together a vision of how we want to develop club in the future, and we have big plans that are already underway This is going to require significant investments of time, effort and, of course, money, but will be hugely beneficial to the club and community. More on that to follow, but you can help immediately by signing up to our new membership structure! Details available in all the usual places...
Lastly, a big thank you to all volunteers, club partners and sponsors who are doing so much to support the club and the game we love.
Best of luck in all your fixtures, up the Hill!

After being relegated in 2022, our only objective for 2023 was to gain promotion back to the GCCL, thankfully we managed to achieve this the first time of asking! This season is about showing we belong in the county league again and with the same mindset as last year, I see no reason why we can not look to push for promotion again this season We have a good mix of youth and experience which should put us in good stead for the 2024 season and beyond. At the end of the day, a strong first XI will lead to a strong second XI and so forth, so for the club to push on like we hope to, we will need to see the same levels of commitment and dedication we did last season! The weather isn’t looking great for this weekend but hopefully the sun will shine and the army will be in full force on the sideline!

In 2022, we played Huntley 1st XI in our opening game of the season Two years later, we were due to play their newly-formed 2nd XI in our first match The rain may have put a stop to that, but it’s encouraging that in the last two years, both of us have expanded; that’s an achievement for cricket clubs to be proud of in the 21st century. Ruardean Hill now has a Development XI and a thriving Women’s section, both of which are full of talent and enthusiasm for the game. I’m very excited for the future of these players and the club as a whole. Up the Hill!

We approach the summer season with energy and vigour after participating in the indoor winter league competition and coming a respectable 4th place. Since January, we have welcomed many more new players, bringing our squad to over 20 players and have had the benefit of being coached by Chloe Skelton, current player for Western Storm. The weather may be against us, but we aim to play an inter-club “friendly” hardball game this Sunday, prior to starting the hardball league the following week. The fact we are growing as a team so quickly is testament, not only to the dedication and spirit of all the women who show up to practice, but also to the committee and RHCC sports club who also want to see the game of cricket grow. Here’s to a fantastic summer and here’s to a cheeky shandy post a Sunday game! Cheers!
