Mixed-gender friendly cricket club. Proudly inclusive. Making cricket accessible to LGBTQ+ people, disabled people and older people. Beginners welcome.
We are a club that is committed to playing friendly cricket. Unfortunately there are few friendly teams in Merseyside, but we are willing to travel reasonable distances for games.
Are there any teams who would like a game with us in 2026? Standard is weak.
