POTTERNE CC CLUBMARK

We possess the 'Clubmark' seal of quality,awarded by the Wiltshire Cricket Board. Clubmark is the ECB's national accreditation and is used to create a benchmark for high quality community club cricket delivered in a safe and well organised fashion

Club History

Potterne Cricket Club was formed, as part of Potterne Sports Club, in 1936. This isn't to say that the village hadn't been represented before that date - records of a match against Devizes in 1843 bear testament to the fact.

Few records exist of cricketing activities throughout the 19th Century, but an ignominious record was achieved early in the 20th. During a match in 1907 Potterne were bowled out for the score of 0, a feat that hopefully will never be repeated!

On March 27 1936, Potterne Sports Club was formed, covering cricket, football and tennis. The football section of the club didn't take off - the team wanted to play non-villagers, and that was against the club's rules. Interest died off in tennis, leaving cricket as the only sport represented by the club. This remained the case until the outbreak of the Second World War, when the Club ceased to function.

In 1947 interest in cricket was sufficient to enable the Club to start playing cricket again. Since then the Club has gone from strength to strength, and in 2010 the Club ran four teams on a Saturday for the first time in its history.

Now at the age of 75, the club is bigger and more successful than ever. The First XI are in the West of England Premier League Gloucestershire and Wiltshire Section , the Seconds in it's 2nd X1 equivalent,with the 3rds in Wiltshire League Division 5 and the 4th X1 in Division 7. We also have U9,U11,U13 and U15 youth teams as well as U11 and U15 Girls sides. We have also recently completed a fantastic 3 lane practice net, making our facilities some of the best in the league. With the possession of the ECB Clubmark accreditation and being an ECB Focus Club the future looks bright at Potterne.
