Woodbridge Cricket Club Returns to Woodbridge School, in Partnership with OW Cricket
Woodbridge Cricket Club is excited to announce it will be returning to Woodbridge School, and partnering with the School’s Old Woodbridgian (OW) Cricket Club for the 2026 season.
Based in the School’s magnificent grounds, the club will take up its place in the heart of the School and town. This decision means all home matches and fixtures will take place on the School’s beautiful Cricket pitch, and the club and its players, members and visitors will also be able to make full use of the recently refurbished Cricket Pavillion.
Commenting on the club’s decision, Scott Button, Director of Cricket shared,
“Cricket is such a special sport, and certainly one I’m passionate about having joined Woodbridge Cricket Club just over five years ago. This decision to base our club at Woodbridge School, alongside our partnership with the OW Cricketers, means we can make the most of the splendid grounds at the School, as well as the beautiful pavilion. I’ve travelled far and wide playing Cricket for this club and others, and I have to say Woodbridge School Cricket pitch is one of the best I’ve played on. Not only that, but it’s so central in terms of appealing to and being part of the community – not only for players, but for spectators who will be able to wander up through the town to join us in the School for our matches and fixtures.”
He continued,
“Cricket is a game anyone and everyone can play – no matter whether you’re a seasoned player or someone who’s never picked up a bat before, everyone is welcome at Woodbridge Cricket Club.”
Commenting on the partnership and the decision, Ralph Pruden, Head of Sport, Fitness and Health at Woodbridge School said,
“We have been looking at the Cricket Club returning to use Woodbridge School as its home ground over the last couple of years and I am delighted that this has now been confirmed. We are absolutely committed to providing an outstanding Cricket programme at the School and this is another positive step forward. Woodbridge CC are an ambitious club with a desire to develop strong youth pathways into high level Cricket, we are excited to support this, including the introduction of girls and women’s teams into the club. Sharing our wonderful facilities with the community is really important and I know that this move will provide a strong focal point for Cricket in our town for many years to come“.
