Who are we?
We are a social cricket club based in Oslo founded in 2000. We are proudly a multi-cultural club made up of mainly expats from a range of countries. Last year we had members from nine different countries. We try to balance being serious about cricket with also being a way for people moving to Norway to have a social network. Our members come from a range of backgrounds and we do our best to welcome all regardless of background or cricketing standard.
Season 2023
With milder weather and longer days we commenced outdoor training on 2nd May.
Our annual tour took us to La Manga for the second weekend in March. Our hosts were La Manga Cricket Club. We had a great trip, warming up both their cricketing technique as well as the bodies in general with a temperature difference of nearly 40C. The match report for our first match is avaiiable over on our tour blog
As for local competitions, this year we will be participating in two series: Super League Div. 1 and T20 Championship Div. 4, with 10 and 9 games respectively. There should also be plenty of time for some friendly matches at the back end of the season. Stay up-to-date with our exploits via the calendar and match reports. You can also follow us on social media.
