About Us 1 of 2

1. Trent Bridge Cricket Team


TRENT BRIDGE CRICKET TEAM was formed in 1996 by Tom Paterson, with the squad made up from the non-professional staff and associates of Trent Bridge - except for special occasions.

We have continued to grow each year with the number of fixtures now exceeding 20 each season. In 1998 the first tour was held, and its success ensured it has become an annual event, with 2008 the first overseas tour (to Mallorca).

In 2003 we took on a new challenge by joining the Nottingham Evening Cricket League, adding a competitive touch to matches while still playing with a smile on our faces. 2009 brought our first league silverware in the form of the 2nd Division title, winning seven out of eight matches while in 2010 we reached the Final of the cup competition.

The 2004 season included a game against a Paul Johnson XI during his testimonial year, with stars on the day including former West Indies captain Jimmy Adams and Australian batting sensation David Hussey making their debuts.

This was followed in 2005 with a charity match against the world famous Bunbury Cricket Club, raising more than £4,000 for the ‘When You Wish Upon A Star’ and Murali’s Tsunami ‘MVGF’ charities.

On this site you will find a mixture of information - from the latest news, fixtures, player profiles to averages, tour information, sponsors, our charity, team shop and our photo gallery plus much more.

We have been fortunate to have been sponsored since 2002, and we are again indebted to THE SOUTHBANK BAR, part of the Great Northern Inn chain for their support. We would also like to thanks 4550 MILES FROM DELHI for their support.
