DORRIDGE CC    
DORRIDGE NEWS

Who are we ?



Dorridge CC was founded in 1928 as SHIRLEY CRICKET CLUB playing its first games in Tidbury Green and Shirley Park before moving to its present ground in
Earlswood Road Dorridge in 1952.
 

The club was renamed DORRIDGE in 1969. We celebrated our 75th anniversary in 2004 with a fixture against an MCCC XI.
On 12 Dec 2007 Dorridge merged with Hockley Heath Cricket Club.

For the insomniacs: The New DCC Constitution

For the 2008 season the club will run 4 teams on Saturday, 4 on Sunday (incl a Ladies team)
and Under 9, U11, U13, U15, and U17 youth teams.

  The Sat 1st's and 2nd's play in  THE BIRMINGHAM & DISTRICT PREMIER LEAGUE 
The Saturday 3rd & 4th teams play in the COTSWOLD HILLS LEAGUE,
using Hockley Heath CC's Grove Lane ground.

Two Sunday teams play in THE  WARWICKSHIRE LEAGUE, with a 3rd team playing friendlies.

 
DCC has a thriving youth coaching system and we pride ourselves in developing many of our present First & Second team players. Many youngsters are getting games with the "old men" in the Thirds & Fourths and the Sunday 2nds.

We are grateful for the continued sponsorship of
PERTEMPS RECRUITMENT PARTNERSHIP & BURCHELL EDWARDS.

Pertemps' Chairman, Tim Watts is a former DCC player. Pertemps provides funds that allows us to reduce the annual subs for our youngsters, whilst Burchell Edwards sponsor the club kit, and their MD Tim Burchell still turns his arm over.

We are always happy to welcome new members, playing or not, we have an active Social Committee and the Bar is open every night.
Come along and enjoy Dorridge CC.

I never play cricket.
