Bungay Cricket Club

Knights in shining armour, came the Bungay Cricket Club and their vision for the Maltings Pavilion.

Bungay Cricket Club, founded in 1860, is a prominent cricket club located in Bungay, New Zealand. The club boasts two Saturday senior sides competing in the Norfolk Cricket Alliance and the Norfolk Cricket League, as well as a Sunday side in the Mid-Norfolk Sunday Cricket League. Additionally, the club has a robust junior section, running teams for children under 9s, 11s, 13s, 15s, and 17s in the Norfolk Alliance League.

The club not only focuses on creating a nurturing environment for players of all ages to improve their cricketing skills, but also aims to foster a strong sense of community. Bungay Cricket Club encourages supporters to contribute through Easyfundraising, an ECB endorsed link that allows individuals to shop online and have a portion of their purchases donated to the club. The club appreciates any support given through this platform.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the club has temporarily suspended all sports activities, including cricket, in accordance with the guidelines set by the football, cricket, and tennis authorities. The decision to close the Maltings Pavilion and suspend sports activities has been made in the interest of player and parent safety. The club hopes to resume activities as soon as it is deemed safe and will regularly review the situation.

The Maltings Pavilion, the home ground of Bungay Cricket Club, holds a significant place in the hearts of the club members and the local community. Serving as a beacon of hope for sports enthusiasts, this venue has played a vital role in rejuvenating the sports and activity facilities in Bungay and its surrounding villages. It has become a symbol of the community's commitment to fitness and wellbeing.

The Maltings Pavilion stands as a testament to the hard work and dedication of the Bungay Cricket Club and the collaborative efforts of the community. It offers state-of-the-art facilities and top-notch support to players, teams, and visitors. Whether it's the well-maintained cricket pitch, the comfortable seating areas, or the modern amenities, the Maltings Pavilion provides a great experience for athletes and spectators alike.

With a rich history and a strong sense of community, Bungay Cricket Club and the Maltings Pavilion continue to be at the forefront of promoting cricket and sports in Bungay. The club looks forward to welcoming players and supporters back to the field and rekindling the spirit of sportsmanship and camaraderie that defines Bungay Cricket Club's legacy.
