Castor & Ailsworth Cricket Club

Castor and Ailesworth Cricket Club is situated 5 miles west of central Peterborough. It combines the advantages of an attractive rural village setting and competitive cricket to a high standard. The ground is surrounded by trees and fields and is traffic free.

Our fixture list offers cricket to suit virtually any standard of player and we are always keen to recruit new members in order to sustain this.

Stop Press: Cricket Nets started up again every Sunday from Sunday 11^th January 2009 (See below)

1^st XI (Captain: Robin Vitas Tel: 07801753000)

The Saturday 1^st XI play in the Tucker Partnership Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire Premier League Division Two. On Sundays we play in the more locally based Stylaprint Rutland League Division Two. We can always find room for players of first eleven ability or potential.

2nd XI (Captain: Sadat Akram Tel 07957653513)

The Saturday 2^nd XI play in the Hunts County Bats Huntingdonshire League Division Four. Our objective is for this team to advance to enable it to offer greater support to the 1^st XI. On Sundays we play in the Stylaprint Rutland League Division Seven.

We are very keen to recruit good youngsters of 14 and upwards to introduce them to adult cricket. We have also been a vehicle for several older players to return to cricket after a lapse. All are welcome.

Midweek XI (Captain: Robin Vitas 07801 753000)

We enter approximately 1^st XI strength in the Jaidka Cup knockout. On Thursday evenings a team of mixed standard play in the Special Eyes Peterborough Midweek League.

Colts (Co-ordinator: Mark Jacobs 01733 380483)

Over more than 30 years the colts have been the backbone around which the club has been built and many of our current 1^st XI joined the club as colts. We currently run teams in the Hunts under-9, under-11, and under-15 competitions.

Boys of all ages are very welcome and we would also welcome adults who are willing to assist in either an administrative or a coaching capacity. Older colts should also refer to 2nd XI notes.
