We set up the South Bristol Sundries to enable more people to enjoy playing village cricket matches without having to commit to a traditional club or deal with the competitiveness of league cricket....

Lovely piece of writing on the friendly cricket scene in the Meon Valley yahooovercowcorner.wordpress.com/2025/05/28/f...

A short match report from our South Bristol Sundries game away at the hospitable Hawkesbury on Sunday afternoon. A last ball finish to start the season & all played in a very inclusive atmosphere medium.com/@friendlycri... #Cricket #Community

On Friday night we're running a coached session for casual cricketers. Even us occasional players wanna improve our game. As always the invite is open to anyone. Get in touch or book on here. fienta.com/back-to-cric... #Cricket #Coaching #FriendlyCricket #BacktoCricket

Back to Cricket: Softball Smash! Eight of us met up to play indoors today.... A combination of "Catchy Catchy" and a pairs match worked well for a mixed group and we had another new player along for their first cricket in 20+ years. #BackToCricket #Cricket #Bristol #Community #Friendly #Social

🏏We do cricket that brings people together. 🏏We create ways for busy people to play, without the commitment of club or league cricket. 🗓️Today we're meeting up for softball under the roof. A few spaces left. Bristol folks book on here fienta.com/back-to-cric...

If you're in Bristol & miss playing cricket, or fancy giving it a try, we've got you covered. You can enjoy low-commitment cricket with us - without joining a club. Here's a look at what's coming up in the next few weeks: tinyurl.com/y96xeyjw #April #Cricket #FriendlyCricket #Bristol #Community

We believe there are thousands of adults across Bristol who like cricket but don't play. That's where we were until we started our own casual alternatives that fit around busy lives. Now we've got a community of 80 like minded folks doing things differently #Cricket #Bristol #Community

*Grants of up to £1,000 available to cricket clubs* This year we are expanding our funding, offering three special grants of up to £1,000 to promote friendly cricket in the UK and Ireland... 🏏🧵

I Don't Want Allott for Christmas No offence Paul & Geoff. #Cricket #Christmas 📸 ESPN CricInfo

Back on the festive cricketers theme again... And one for the #Gloucestershire #Cricket supporters here... Alleyne in a Manger 📸 BBC Sport

Luckily we had these fielders in the deep to help us out #Fielding #Cricket #Bristol #Splash

Found the water quite a lot today though. Perils of playing at the harbourside arena I suppose. Nice clip off the legs at most grounds, but that's in the drink and out here. #StreetCricket #Cricket #Bristol #CricketInTheCity #Out

Great day playing cricket on the streets of Bristol again today. Thank you to everyone who got involved when passing by. Especially 'one handed catch man!' Meanwhile, is this out, or sliding down? #Cricket #StreetCricket #Bristol #Harbourside #CricketInTheCity

Highlight #2: Our second (now annual) family cricket day was bigger and better than 2023. Over 150 people enjoyed the day from either side of the boundary rope. A real focus on making it a great day for spectators and extended family worked well this year. Treasure hunt, BBQ, 🍺 bouncy 🏰 etc #Cricket

#Bristol folks.... We're gonna be meeting up at the harbourside amphitheatre on Saturday for a bit of backyard cricket in the city. Public involvement is very much encouraged. Even if it's just a one hit wonder. #Cricket #StreetCricket #BackyardCricket #Play

Umpiring decisions can be cruel, infuriating, and sometimes downright funny. Our '50 Reasons' tea towels and posters should be essential viewing for part time umpires. Commit to memory and you'll never be stuck for an answer when the bowler asks howzat!? www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Peop... #Cricket

Highlight #1: We've grown the Bristol Friendly Cricket Group to more than 60 adults. Nearly everyone involved had been out of the game until we got our 'low commitment' cricket community going in 2023. A very enjoyable rescue mission. Loved meeting hidden cricket lovers in the community #Cricket

We've enjoyed seeing people using Bluesky to share highlights from the past year. Got us in a reflective mood and we'll belatedly post some of our 2024 favourites between now and Xmas. Thanks for the inspiration @jacoblunn11.bsky.social #Cricket

Hat trick for Charlie Dean!

The tree is up and we're compiling a festive XI. So far we've got... FairyGayle of New York Silent Knight Once in Royal Dravid’s City O Little Town of Bethellhem The Healy and the Ivy In the (Heath) Streak Midwinter Starc the Herald Angels Sing Ding Dong Murali on High Who else pls? #Cricket

Another remarkable performance from England men's team. At 40-odd for four it would have been comfortable to be more circumspect. Who knows, that might have worked too. But they really put the pressure back on NZ and that was a crucial phase. Bowlers have been excellent too! #Cricket

Two excellent cricket starter packs by @bethcooper.fyi and another dedicated to women's cricket by @maddyoby.bsky.social 🙏

A good reply from Starc to Jaiswal overnight then?! #BGT #AUSvIND.

The Basin Reserve doesn't make the top 10 roundabouts in the world. A travesty! #Cricket www.dangerousroads.org/around-the-w...

These three could tell some stories. They've been stashed away for ages but enjoying a new lease of life in street cricket 🏏 #StreetCricket #BackyardCricket #Cricket #BlueskyCricket #Bristol #Bats

Brydon Carse is the first English seamer to take 10 in a match overseas since Ryan Sidebottom in Hamilton in 2008. It's something that neither Anderson nor Broad achieved in their careers.

Still getting up to speed with life over here, looking for the feeds that champion and care about casual cricket. Who's missing from this starter pack? #Cricket #BlueskyCricket go.bsky.app/Fzzpgmd

We tested out a game of street cricket in the city... The space worked beautifully and the people of Bristol were brilliant! Enjoy a short film about the day, and please get in touch if you'd like to be part of the next one. Questions or comments welcome 🤗🏏#Cricket #Bristol youtu.be/P1rnOzsJDwo?...

Today's game was really energising. Around 30 - 40 people got involved at some stage, we happily shared the space with walkers, runners, mountain bikers, skaters, bladers and more. Can't stop seeing other public spaces as possible cricket pitches now 😂 #Cricket #Bristol #Community #streetcricket

Not easy to book indoor facilities in winter, too wet in the park. No bother. Let's play in the city centre. Great to meet people as they passed and make plans for more cricket on the streets of Bristol. Such a fun game, when we keep it simple & social #Cricket #Community #Bristol

Who's got some good tips for using Feeds, Lists & Starter Packs on here? #Cricket

So many familiar faces appearing on here. Lovely to see. It's like being out on Xmas eve and there people to catch up with in every pub 😊 #Cricket

Cricket in the city ... We're taking cricket to the people! Street cricket from 11am Sunday at the Waterfront Arena (aka Lloyds Amphitheatre). We'll have bats, balls stumps and we'd love it if a few friendly faces got involved. #Cricket #Bristol #Community #Free
