Thame Town Cricket Club
Thame Town CC is a well established cricket club in the County of Oxfordshire. Situated in the centre of the historic market town of Thame, the Club enjoys a picturesque setting at Church Meadow.
The Club caters for the serious and committed adult and youth competitive cricketers as well as those who enjoy only the occasional game. The Club currently plays in the Sports Cherwell League. It fields three senior teams on Saturdays and one on Sundays, as well as five junior teams in respective Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire leagues.
We also run a number of friendly matches throughout the season for all age groups. The season is from April to September, with indoor nets and training taking place in the other months of the year.
The Club is recognised by the England and Wales Cricket Board as one of four ‘Focus Clubs’ in South Oxfordshire by virtue of its standards, youth coaching programmes, Clubmark status and links with Lord Williams School.
In 2012 we had 80 Adult Playing Members, 50 Social and Family Members and 160 Junior Members. We have several UKCC qualified club coaches and have an overseas player/coach for the summer season.
