Established in 1897, Bishopston C.C. is a very friendly, but also progressive Cricket Club, which on 1st December 2003, moved to its new Headquarters at Westbury Fields, a purpose-built complex of retirement homes encircling the newly-laid Cricket Field and Square.

It's a wonderful setting for Cricket, and Bishopston C.C. is very grateful to its Landlords, St.Monica Trust, for the opportunity to develop both on and off the field.

In 2004, this opportunity was taken, and the huge amount of hard work by the Trust, the Committee, the players, the professional coach and one or two other stalwarts of the Club, was rewarded with success on the field. Both the 1st X1 (Runners Up) and the 2nd X1 (Champions) were promoted to their respective Senior Divisions of the Bristol & District Leagues.

The Club caters for players of all ages and abilities running (in 2007) 4 X1s on a Saturday, a Sunday X1, and Youth sides from Under 9s up to Under 17s.

Weather permitting, there are fixtures at Westbury Fields every Saturday from the end of April to the beginning of September (the 1st X1 and 2nd X1 usually alternate Home and Away with matches usually starting at 2.00 p.m.)

Additionally, on Sunday mornings and weekday evenings, there is often one of the Bishopston junior teams playing at the ground.

So whatever your interest, come along and have a look at us. If you're not a player, please come along and support the teams, whilst enjoying the picturesque setting and fine clubhouse.

If you would like any further information, then please contact Dave King, one of our hard-working stalwarts, who is also our Youth Team Co-Ordinator, on 0117 9246114, or any of the officials shown on the 'About Us' section of the website.
