Welcome to Frocester Cricket Club (FCC), one of the premier cricket clubs in Gloucestershire. With a rich history and a strong presence in both men's and women's cricket, FCC offers a wide range of opportunities for players and fans alike.
For the men's teams, FCC fields four teams on Saturdays, with the 1st XI competing in the prestigious WEPL Premier 1 league. Having previously won the title in 2014 and 2015 and finishing as runners-up in 2016, the 1st XI has established itself as a force to be reckoned with. In 2022, FCC achieved promotion to the WEPL Premier 1 league as winners of the Tier two Glos/Wilts Division, further solidifying their position among the top cricket clubs in the region. The 2nd XI competes in tier 3 of WEPL, facing off against formidable 1st XI opposition. The 3rd XI participates in Division 4 of the GCL, while the 4th XI competes in the local Stroud League.
In addition to the men's teams, FCC boasts two women's teams that compete in both hardball and softball leagues. This provides a welcoming and inclusive environment for female players, allowing them to develop their skills and compete at various levels.
FCC places great importance on its youth structure, ensuring that boys and girls between the ages of 5 and 15 have access to high-quality cricket coaching and playing opportunities. The club runs the ECB All Stars programme for beginners aged 5-8 and has youth teams at under 9, 11, 13, and 15 levels. The club has two well-maintained grounds, Pounds Close and St Peters, offering excellent facilities for junior matches.
Besides cricket, FCC is known for its vibrant social activities organized by the Supporters Club committee. Throughout the year, the committee arranges a variety of events to cater to different interests. The annual Frocester Festival, a beloved tradition celebrating 40 years in 2023, is a highlight of the club's social calendar. Other events, such as the Safari Supper and Advent Lunch, provide opportunities for members to connect and enjoy each other's company.
