Pirbright Cricket Club

After much number-crunching over a few [too many] pints of Saaz Pilsner (coincidentally available on draught in the pavilion on home match days), we’ve concluded there’s still hope.

Our survival would be right up there alongside other such monumental sporting shocks:

⚽️ Leicester City winning the Premier League 🏆
🥊 Buster Douglas defeating Mike Tyson (who was 37-0 at the time)
⛳️ Team Europe beating USA in ‘The Miracle of Medinah’
⚽ whilst we’re on miracles, Tottenham staying up in 2025/26 (and 2024/25)

But whilst there’s hope, we fight.

Next up, it’s a trip to And with two games remaining, there’s still everything to play for.

Then on Sunday, the Phoenixes head over to for their final league outing of the season.

Regardless of result, it’s been another fantastic season for our Women’s section, with plenty of promise for what’s to come in 2027 - watch this space 💙💛

Tomorrow’s just another day………………

And so off the back of a draw and two wins, our very own attempt at The Great Escape appears to be on!
 
Having climbed off the bottom, we currently sit a meagre 0.24 points from safety and 0.47 points from 7th place.
With only 3 games remaining, can we make it the 111 yards through Harry and out into the woods……………..
Standing in our way this weekend are high-flying league leaders 𝑭𝒓𝒊𝒎𝒍𝒆𝒚 𝑷𝒉𝒐𝒆𝒏𝒊𝒙 𝑪𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒌𝒆𝒕 𝑪𝒍𝒖𝒃 , whose fortunes sit at the opposite end of the table - a win going some decent way to seeing them crowned as Div3 champions.
 
It’s shaping up to be a great game, so we would love to see you down on The Green showing your support.
We have some new arrivals to help whet the thirst too: SAAZ Pilsner (I’m told rather splendid) and $UMO APA (apparently tropical & hazy)

♻️Cans for Cricket: Update♻️

Heading into the final weeks of the season and this years cohort of Young Leaders are still absolutely crushing it:

♻️ 61kg (that’s about 4’400 cans) diverted from landfill

📏 > 500 meters of cans, stood end-to-end - enough to go around our boundary almost one-a-half-times

Thank you to everyone who has supported us, by drinking or bringing cans along to our ‘amnesty’. We are extremely grateful.

As the accumulator shows, we’re just about on track to reach the bottom of the handle, but still have some way to go. We still need your help, so please keep drinking and donating.
