Cricket
Cricket at Trinity enjoys a rich history full of both long-standing friendly fixtures
and more competitive inter-collegiate tournaments. We typically train for one hour
once every two weeks during the Michaelmas and Lent terms so the commitment is
really low - regardless of your ability there will definitely be a place for you!
If you’ve never played the game before, the Freshers’ Sports Day is a great
opportunity to come try it out, and if you do take a liking to it you are more than
welcome to attend our training sessions throughout the first two terms. Ultimately
college sport is more of a social activity than a serious exercise and you will
undoubtedly make friends, be it at training, at our socials or even in years above or
below yours at Trinity.
After two terms of light net training, in Easter term we then have Cuppers matches
versus other colleges consisting of two to three T20 games in the group stage, with
the chance of reaching the semi-final and then final. We were unfortunate to have
our last season cancelled due to the pandemic, however, the season previous to this
resulted in our Trinity team reaching the semi-final and narrowly losing out to a
strong Emmanuel college. We hope to build on the recent rise in performance level
over the last 5 years and progress well into the competition and therefore welcome
any players to join our sides, we are always in need!
It should be also noted that there is no separate womens’ team and all women who
want to try the game or have experience playing cricket are extremely welcome to
join and participate.

University level, feel free to contact us via email or Facebook!
