Founded in the mid-19th century, Frocester Cricket Club has always been a village side powered by passion, perseverance and community spirit. From borrowed fields and farmer-kindness to cider-fuelled matches on rough outfields, the club survived wars, waning interest and muddy boots to keep the game alive. Revived time and again by locals—from landowners and blacksmiths to returning servicemen—it steadily built fixtures, facilities and pride. By the 1930s, with a permanent pitch, pavilion and growing support, Frocester cricket had truly put down roots—and the love of the game has endured ever since.
