Teams
On Saturdays the First team plays in the 2nd division and the Second XI play in the 5th division of the Cotswold Hills League. On Sundays a team of mixed abilities plays non-league cricket.
There are outdoor nets at the ground every Wednesday throughout the season from 6 to 7.30 pm.
The club is always interested in talking to potential new players. So, whatever your standard of play, if you would like to play for the club please contact Steve Jay by e-mail or by telephone on 07850 143680.

The more technologically minded can subscribe to an RSS feed which will alert you each time a new report is posted.
Juniors
The club runs junior practice sessions for children in Year 2 up to Year 8 on Monday nights from April to July. This year the club entered an Under 14 team in the Junior Section of the Cotswold Hills League which finished in second place. The Juniors page contains further details.
Vice Presidents
The club's Vice Presidents tend to be local people who have village facilities and activities at heart. For a minimum of £5, which tends to be topped up by most people to a larger sum by gift aid donation, you can become a Vice President and thereby be associated with the club. If you are interested in supporting the club in this way please contact Brian Taylor by or by telephone on 01564 782961.
Each year in June the annual Vice Presidents' day provides a chance to meet other Vice Presidents and to watch a Rowington Sunday side take on a team of Old Boys. This year the event took place on Sunday 8 June and was followed by a pig roast. All Vice Presidents, cricketers, villagers and their families are welcome.
Annual Dinner
Each year the club holds an annual dinner and prize giving. This year's dinner will take place on Friday 10 October 2008 at the Ardencote Manor Hotel. The format will be the same as last year with the dinner and presentation followed by a disco. Numbers are limited and places will be allocated on a first come first served basis. Please contact Steve Jay if you would like to attend.
