Welcome...
Welcome to the home of Wiltshire Cricket!
Congratulations to Wiltshire Under 15's!
Wiltshire Under 15's have secured their place in the next round of the ECB Cup with a comprehensive 110 run win over Oxfordshire. Batting first Wiltshire scored 185 all out with significant contributions coming from Craig Miles (48) and Jack Dymoke (48). In reply, some excellent bowling from all of Wiltshire's bolwers ended up
with Oxfordshire being bolwed out for just 75. The pick of the bowlers was Brad Dawson who returned figures of 5 for 27 in 8 overs. He was ably supported by Craig Miles, 2 for 12, James Lavis, 1 for 13 and Ben Gardner, 2 for 10. This wins continues Wiltshire's fantastic form so far this season and means that they now qualify for the next stages of the ECB Cup, having already beaten Wales and Gloucestershire.
We wish the under 15's all the best in the enxt round of the competition.
Record Breaking Wiltshire!

Scoring 334-6, Wiltshire went on to bowl Berkshire out for 250. This continues Wiltshire's great form from the previous week when they beat Herefordshire by 120 runs.
Club Online Survey
The Wiltshire Cricket Board has been tasked by the ECB with self assessing the effectiveness with which it works across all different areas of Cricket development in order to improve the way we do things in the future.
One key area of our work revolves around Clubs. As a result the WCB has produced a short questionnaire specifically for clubs within the County to complete. It would be much appreciated if you could take 5 minutes to complete the attached questionnaire and return to pete.sykes@ecb.co.uk. By completing this form you will ensure that we have your very necessary comments and will be helping Wiltshire Cricket strive for further and future improvement.
NEW!!!! ECB Umpire Level 1 Courses 2009
With the ECB taking over and streamlining Officials courses for both Umpires and Scorers it has meant there has been a void from the WCB in offering these to clubs until now. We have ECB qualified tutors in the County that are ready to deliver so please have a look at the course information, complete an application form and get on board with the latest courses from the cricketing world.

Coaches Wanted!!
Wiltshire's Performance Programme is ever growing with ambitions in 2008/2009 for us to run increased district programmes for both Boys and Girls. There will be age groups for which we have not run programmes for before and there will be increased fixtures and coaching programmes for those that already exist. All of these initiatives will obviously result in a greater demand for coaches and managers to get involved with our winter County and District Coaching programmes.
Therefore, if you are a coach that would like to get involved with the Wiltshire Cricket Board in working on our winter coaching programme or alternatively are a volunteer who would be interested in administering and managing a district squad please get in touch with either Pete Sykes or Alan Crouch We are looking for enthusiastic people who would be committed to working with the WCB to improve the standards and opportunities available to our young Cricketers within the county.
Wiltshire Cricket Board is affiliated to the England and Wales Cricket Board with the county club competing in the Minor Counties Championship.
Wiltshire is committed to developing and offering Cricketing opportunities to people at all levels of the game from grass roots right the way through to senior cricket across both boys, girls, ladies and men. We do not only concentrate on players but also aim to support the development of Groundsmen, umpires and scorers in order to ensure that cricket in Wiltshire is enjoyed by as many people as possible.
