Gained a reputation for its inclusive and welcoming atmosphere.
The club prides itself on its friendly matches, which are played on Sundays with 40 overs per side, as well as midweek 20/20 matches, weather permitting. The team is made up of players of all abilities, from beginners to experienced cricketers, who share a common love for the game and a desire to keep it fun and enjoyable.
While most matches are against local or nearby opposition, Snitterfield Cricket Club has also had the pleasure of hosting teams from further afield, adding an element of excitement and diversity to their fixtures.
In addition to regular matches, Snitterfield Cricket Club is actively involved in supporting junior cricket through the ECB's All Stars and Dynamos Cricket programmes. These programmes provide fun and engaging sessions for children aged 5-11 every Friday evening from May onwards. No previous cricket experience is necessary, making it accessible to all.
The club is also proud to be embarking on a new pavilion project and welcomes any support to help make this a reality by 2024. Details on how to contribute can be found on their official website.
Sponsorship opportunities are available for local businesses looking to support local sport and junior cricket while gaining publicity for their company. Interested parties can find more information on the club's website.

Snitterfield Cricket Club operates as a Community Amateur Sports Club, dedicated to providing amateur sport and associated social benefits to the local community. Please note that the cricket club is separate from the Snitterfield Sports Club, which offers Tennis and Bowls as well as a bar and function room, and is located on the other side of Wolverton Road.
Snitterfield Cricket Club has a rich history, having been resurrected from a fire that extinguished its presence in the early 1970s. Founder Lee Hillier played a crucial role in revitalising the club, rallying friends, villagers, and anyone who crossed paths with him to participate in friendly matches. Since its revival in 2001, the cricket club has become an integral part of the village, creating a warm and welcoming environment for players and spectators alike.
