Cricket

Set in the beautiful surroundings of Beversbrook lies a state of the art grass cricket square.

The outfield has under soil drainage to keep it drained during the wet months of the summer. To accommodate the high number of cricket fixtures, Calne Cricket Club has added a top of the range artificial cricket wicket giving the facility a lovely feel to play cricket in the Calne summer sun. To add to the cricket theme Calne Cricket Club has added a three cricket practise nets for club training and to develop their cricketing skills.

In April 2009, Beversbrook saw the first cricket ball bowled at the CricketForce weekend. Six teams from five different primary schools took part in Calne Cricket Club Kwik Festival.
