About SBCC

sawston cricket club…

…formed in 1853, merged with Sawston Spike in 1989. The Club merged again in 2015 with Babraham CC (formed 1850) to become Sawston and Babraham Cricket Club. Making us possibly ‘the oldest new club’ in the County! The Club plays its Saturday cricket in The Cambs and Hunts Premier League and within the Cambridgeshire Cricket Association leagues. It also plays midweek cricket in the Adams Harrison league.

The Club enjoys a fantastic ground and excellent facilities at its HQ in the centre of Sawston, and a picturesque parkland ground in Babraham. This year we have also hosted the Cambridgeshire cricket finals for the second year in succession.

The Club is a Community Amateur Sports Club and is a not for profit organisation that works hard to deliver a financial surplus to reinvest into ‘cricket for all’ in the villages. To do this it relies heavily on its players and a dedicated team of volunteers and its sponsors.

Through our mergers and work with the wider community and with our sponsors and supporters we have learned that, as in cricket, good partnerships are important and that it is vital that both partners meet their objectives. We only win if we both win! Whilst cricket is a traditional game, and we savour and respect our past, we are a forward looking organisation that is also willing to try something new to improve our Club, its image and its standing and that of our partners.

This year we have upped our game in terms of reaching a wider audience with increased use of social media both in regards of our own web space but also contributing to other sites to maximise our exposure and in turn that of our partners. Our membership plays a part by promoting our posts within their groups, both personal and professional, so that way our social media reach grows exponentially.

So if you are an individual or business looking to support the local community and promote your business we have a few ideas how we can help each other, but equally if you have some better ideas yourself we are always ready to listen and learn.
