Foxton Granta CC News story


Foxton and Cambridge joining forces

13 Nov 2021

From the 2022 season, Foxton Cricket Club and Cambridge Cricket Club (formerly Cambridge Granta CC) will merge to form Foxton Granta Cricket Club. The new club will play primarily at Foxton but will also use Cambridge CC’s venue at Caldecote. 

The joining of forces will add both strength and depth to its existing Saturday and Sunday teams, with a future aim of adding additional teams. For the 2022 season, the club will enter teams into the Cambs and Hunts Premier League Div1, Div2 and the CCA Senior League Div.3. 

Both clubs see this as a very positive move forward, with the merged club boasting grounds and facilities which are some of the best in the area.  

The merger will coincide with a return of junior cricket to Foxton for 2022 after a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The new club aims to build its foundation on a strong junior section which will offer cricket in a safe and fun environment for a range of ages. 

The merged committees are now working diligently to get everything in place in readiness for the 2022 season. The club is also on the look-out for new players, sponsors and volunteers to help move the new club even further forward in what should be a very exciting future.
