Last night marked another break-in at Wicken Cricket Club—our second in just two months. No equipment was stolen, but the damage underscores a troubling trend. The escalating malicious acts challenge our every move. We need your support more than ever. @NorthantsPolice

@BodicoteCC It was a great to host you. Despite the rain, we managed to get a game in. A game that was played in the right spirit. We look forward to setting up a friendly in September.

A rain affected target but Wicken cruised to 68-4 to keep their hopes of avoiding the drop alive. Bad day at the office

Sadly this is the second such post that we’ve seen this week. Having first hand knowledge into how much work goes into running and funding a cricket club, it is disappointing to see such vandalism!

@MiltonKeynesCC @snclcricket Definitely - drop us an email at wscc1849@gmail.com and we’ll get something in the diary

@WickenSCC @snclcricket Is there any chance you might be able to host any friendlies in September?

Come play for the #MightyWicken #SNCL2023 #Division1

A quick word about today. We turned up to play @finmere today with just 9 players, lost the toss and fielded. Finmere CC scored 219 off 40 overs. The Wicken 9 scored 221/6 in reply, the winning runs scored with 4 balls left - what an effort! #villagecricket #teamspirit #wicken9

Starting to look a lot like the start of the season soon, just 4 days until the friendly game with @towncricket #cricket #volunteer #villagecricket #northamptonshire #weatherwatching

One of my favourite cuts of the year, the one on the first warm day after rain in March. Square also being used by our friends @towncricket this year so lots of prep! #northamptonshire #villagecricket #groundsman #volunteer #volunteering

@WoodfordHalseCC won the game by three wickets. Batting first we hit 163, which always looked a little short of par. They were knocked off for 7 wickets despite being 18/4 at one stage. A good game, enjoyed by both teams, good luck for the rest of the season @WoodfordHalseCC

Today @TowsCricket batted first and scored 186, 2 wickets each for Siva, Jimmy and Deep. Callum 8 overs for just 9 runs. Batting second Bas hit 58, Jimmy 41no, and Deep 24no saw us hit 187 in 35.4 overs. Good performances all round.

Good win today against @ByfieldCC 2nd XI. Batting first we got 165-5, a tremendous 99no from the skipper and a partnership with his dad of 142 got us a decent score on a good pitch. In response Byfield scored 81ao, Siva taking 4/11, callum 2/25. @SilverstoneCC 2's away next week!

Proper game of cricket today against @TowsCricket. Tows batted first and made 192, Wicken were all out for 134 in reply. Excellent spirit shown by both teams, lots of smiles in the middle. @ByfieldCC at home next week!

Good win against @BrackleyCC today. Batted first and got 180ao, 50 for Baz Lall, then bowled Brackley out for 105, 3 wickets each for Siva, Tom and Vish. Away @TowsCricket next week

Playing @BrackleyCC 3rd XI today at Wicken. Go well lads!

Awesome win by 8 wickets today. @WoodfordHalseCC batted first and scored 187, 5 wickets for Vish, 3 for Callum. We scored 188 for 2, Bas with 80no, Dave B 53 with a rapid 31 from Deep. Lots of powerful hitting on show today!
