Redruth Cricket Club was first mentioned in the Cornish press in 1830 and is the oldest sporting Club in the town. A full history of the Club can be found in a book published to celebrate its 175th Anniversary - Redruth Cricket Club 1830-2005
We field 4 Senior Teams each week during the season, in the Cornwall Cricket League (currently) County Divisions 1, 2, 5 & 7 and as a result of placing the development of Young People at the top of its cricketing priorities we also has 5 Sections of Junior players – Rising Stars young players from 3 to 9 years old. Under 11’s, 13’s, 15’s and U17's. 2007 saw the club also enter Cornwall's Ladies Sunday league. We pride ourselves on being a 'family club', creating a warm welcome is important to us. The Club has always had a reputation for its friendly Clubhouse and an active Bar & Social Committee plans a varied programme of events both during and “out-of-season”.
Redruth Cricket Club strives to be competitive but not at the expense of being friendly and inclusive. These have been its hallmarks since its foundation and no newcomer, whether they wish to play cricket or simply support the Club through Social membership, need ever be a stranger for long.
Trewirgie Cricket Field
Our 1st and 2nd teams play their home games at Trewergie located in the south of Redruth. Trewergie is one of the most scenic cricket grounds in Cornwall, offering views of Redruth and Carn Brea. The ground has excellent spectating facilities from every corner of the ground and car parking options both on the boundary edge during games and in our large car park next to the clubhouse.
