2026 Fixtures

Only 9 weeks to go until the start of the village cricket season at Broadhalfpenny Down. There are some enticing and diverse new fixtures; The Refreshers, Birmingham Unicorns, and Shipwreck all make their first pilgrimage to the birthplace of First Class cricket.

We host Wellington Wanderers from New Zealand on their UK tour, and welcome back the Strolling Optimists from Oxfordshire after a long absence from the Down.

Other than that, it's familiar foes and friendly faces, including two T20 evening games against Hambledon and Stansted Park.

The prize match against The Authors takes place on 19th July, the much-loved Vice Presidents Match is on Wednesday 29th July against Whitchurch, and a 250th Anniversary match against Chertsey will take place on Sunday 6th September, where you can expect a speech that involves Lumpy Stevens and that Third Stump.

What a season to look forward to, and a hat-tip to Guy Ladenburg for a well-curated fixture list.
