🚨 ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨
We are delighted to announce that Gaynor Smart will become the new Club President with immediate effect and in doing so will be making history as the first female to hold the position.
This morning the club was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Richard Smart.
Richard joined the club in 1972 when he moved to Cowbridge from Neath. As a top order batsman and slow left arm bowler he helped the 1st XI win the WCCC in 1972 & 1974.
One year on and still hugely missed by all. The club, family and friends look forward to the match against
@MCCOfficial
on September 3rd in your memory 🐮
Big congratulations to Alfie & Theo who have been selected for the Wales U15 squad for this season.
Great effort lads, we know you’ll represent the club well!

Extremely sad to report the passing of our ex 1st XI scorer David Lloyd. David was head of the English department at Cowbridge Grammar School and Comprehensive for over 35 years and enjoyed his cricket immensely, especially when his son Mike was progressing through the club. 1/2
Cowbridge CC is proud to announce that
@cwpathwayS
has selected a total of 22 players for its Performance and Development Squads for 2022. We wish everyone a great season!

Cowbridge CC is very proud to boast not one, but two, international captains in its junior ranks! In the past month, Theo Walker captained the Wales U15 Boys to a win v Cheshire whilst Meg Janczewski captained the Wales U15 Girls to a win v Cornwall. Congratulations to both.
Cowbridge CC are delighted to announce that Tim Moses will be joining the club as Head Coach for 2024.
Tim has a stellar cricketing CV and will be a huge addition to the whole club both on and off the field in his playing and coaching capacities.

*U12 Girls Softball*
A great first session today with some very talented players. We focused on fielding (catching, throwing & backing up) and next week we are moving on to batting and bowling.
It's not too late to join up and give it a go!
Happy New Year to all players, supporters, sponsors and the cricket family. As a club we have suffered tragic losses leaving big holes behind, as will have many others, but tonight we raise a glass to those sadly departed and look forward to 2021, where we aim to do them proud 💪🏽

We are extremely sad to report the death of Jeff Davies yesterday. Jeff was an extremely loyal servant to the club who’s involvement dates back to the 70s, mainly as a scorer for the 1st and 2nd XIs. A true character. Our thoughts are with his brother and family at this time 🐮🐮
Another trip down memory lane to the most popular away ground amongst our player profiles,

Great team performance with everyone chipping in with runs and wickets 🐮🐮
Our first ever Ladies Softball team was formed last year just before the first lockdown over 100 years since a Ladies’ team last played at Cowbridge CC. Over the last 12 months the team has continually welcomed new members.
With great sadness we share the news of the passing of Ian Evans. A highly valued member of the club, pro active committee member and excellent 2nd XI player.
Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with Alison, Georgia and Daniel at this time.
Funeral arrangements to follow.
Thank you
