Welcome to all visitors to the official website of Countess Wear Cricket Club. We play our home matches on an excellent grass wicket at Winslade Park, Clyst St Mary, 3 miles east of Exeter in glorious Devon.

We are still working towards Clubmark status, and should be in a position to complete the application very soon. In the meantime, this website has a page where important documents can be viewed or downloaded. This exercise is being controlled by James Bogue, our Club Development Officer. Please give James and his sub-committee your full support.
Congratulations to the 1st XI on gaining promotion to D Division of the Devon Cricket League on completion of their 2010 fixtures. Sadly, the 2nd XI couldn't match that success and found themselves relegated, after scoring only one point on the final day in 2nd XI Division C. They will thus play in one of the regional D divisions next season.
The Sunday XI found life in Division 1 of the South Devon League in 2010 very difficult and will drop down to Divison 2 next year.
The Colts set-up is now fimly established under the guidance of Martin Bovey. This year, we ran U10 softball and U11 hardball teams in the East Devon Youth League. For 2011, we hope to introduce another age group.
We are always looking for new players for all our sides so, if you are interested in joining us, we can promise you a very friendly welcome. Please contact our Hon.Secretary, Mike Fernbank, on +44(0)1392 366392.
In 2003, the Club celebrated its 50th Anniversary. As part of that landmark celebration, a brochure of 100 plus pages was produced outlining the history of the Club, its Officers and Captains, and playing statistics for everyone who had played at senior level for the Club in the period 1976-2002. Many team photographs are included. Copies of this brochure are still available from Mike Fernbank at only £2.00 per copy (including postage).
