Edinburgh
Our goal at Edinburgh University Cricket Club is to promote a passion for the
game within the university and the wider community. We are a large and inclusive
club of seven teams (four men’s, two women’s and a social XI) and compete in
both indoor and outdoor competitions. We offer a diverse winter and busy summer
schedule to suit any level of ability or commitment. We train three times a
week, with specialist coaching available from Joe Kinghorn-Gray, Craig Yelverton
and Aashiq Rhode. Our elite indoor squads have extra sessions to maintain our
prowess in National Finals. Our Semester One Varsity Day, with both men’s and
women’s matches against St Andrews, is always a day to remember that everyone
gets involved in. We have a vibrant social scene, with socials and events
throughout the semester, giving squads the chance to mix and friendships to
blossom. Our annual Casino Night and Ball are some of the biggest nights of the
year, and are a chance to dress up in the name of charity. There is also the
opportunity to participate in various intramural sports, such as football,
netball and hockey, if one sport isn’t enough for you! Our men’s and women’s 1st
XI squads play at the highest standard in the BUCS Northern Premier divisions,
while the rest of our squads play throughout Scotland. 2022 saw the exciting
addition of a women’s 2nd XI and a Social XI, making our club even bigger and
better than ever! If you’re interested, make sure to get in touch or come down
to our publicised events.
