A Welcome From The Charmain

As Chairman of the club, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to Malvern Cricket Club.

The club is welcoming to all – whatever age or ability.

This is a club where cricket is played in the spirit of the game, played for enjoyment and friendship – a club you want to be part of on and off the field.

The club has invested in great training and playing facilities over the years. We are a club that relies on volunteers. Through their dedication, the club is kept in in great condition, skillfully  led by our Head of Facilities and Grounds - Paul Collier. 

Whilst we are proud of what we have achieved, there is an underlying culture of wanting to improve both on and off the pitch whilst also ensuring it’s an enjoyable and supportive environment.

The standards of cricket are driven by our Director of Cricket – Anthony Arnold. Anthony who has many years of experience of coaching is helped by our Team Captains – Kevin McMillan who leads a competitive first team; Jon Burton who captains the second team to develop players who can push for a place in the firsts and Sam Abel who runs the thirds which mixes youth with experience, often giving juniors their first taste of adult cricket and focusing getting everyone involved .

We have club nights for adults on a Wednesday in the summer a mixture of nets, fielding and practice on the square. In the winter we run sessions at Malvern College with coaching for anyone who wants work on their skills

We run three Saturday teams and a friendly team on a Sunday. There are junior teams from under 8's to under 17's, as well as running ECB 'Get into Cricket' programmes such as All Stars for younger children.

The Ladies Section is thriving and captained by Carmina Scott – over the last few years they have developed the fixture list, entered festivals, and, following the fast-growing rise of ladies cricket nationally, have become an integral part of the club.

The Junior Section is always expanding and the Junior Committee, chaired by Jon Burton, do a brilliant job in involving children and adults in the club. Friday evenings are busy at the club with junior training and an ever-popular BBQ.

The bar, run by Steve Farmer, is always well stocked and constantly evolving – it’s the heart of the club; we play competitive cricket in a good spirit then relax with a drink after.

So, I warmly welcome you to Malvern CC, and invite you to join us in contributing towards the sustainability and success of this friendly, inclusive club.
