A massive shout out to our two main groundsmen, Kenny Thomas and Paul Gilbert; without the hours of hard work and dedication they put in, we simply wouldn’t be playing this weekend … Amazing effort Huge gratitude also to Rob Ball and Tony Jenkins who came to the rescue to get the outfield cut and …

Sunday 11th September 2022 Whoah! We’re going to Barrybados, Whoah! Back to the island. A ground we love to play at versus Barry West End. Few of the boys got to the island early; Leo and Steve went for a warm up in the nets, Skipper Rob and Chairman Math went to the arcade (proper …
Sunday 14th August 2022 A long-awaited invite to play on the Vale Cricket Club Oval was surely motivation enough to brave the sweltering 36 degree Welsh heatwave on Sunday when Wick Village CC met a strong Vale team for a midday start to their 40 over dual. In the midday mirage across the scorched field …
Sunday 7th August 2022 Wick had the pleasure of visiting Newbridge fields on a glorious sunny Sunday Afternoon.

Sunday 10th July 2022 Sounds like the village fete was an idyllic success but for every Yin there is a Yang as we lost our opening bowler to a beat-the-keeper injury (“he was smashed” was the assessment) and a fete reveller abandoned their vehicle on the hallowed turf leaving the start time in jeopardy. This …
Sunday 26th June 2022 They say what goes on tour, stays on tour but truthfully Saturday was bit of a blur and the details very hazy but the levels of debauchery will either live long in the minds of the residents of Ross-on-Wye or no-one will have noticed our presence. The Wick CC jolly boys …
Sunday 12th June 2022 At 9:24am Gutsy pulled out of the game and Skipper Rob called in 12th man Amal. At 9:28am Gutsy was back in the game and Wick were up to twelve players. Yes it was time to physically, and metaphorically, put on the tin hat as Mr Uncaptainable, the Police House Express, …
