Market Overton Cricket Club was founded in 1950 and currently fields two open age teams in the Leicestershire League on Saturdays & one team in the Grantham & Melton League on Sundays.
Our women’s team play in the East Midlands Women’s League and we also have a girls’ team in the Leicestershire & Rutland Girls League.
We have 150+ junior players (boys & girls) from ages 5-19.
We are an accredited ECB All Stars & Dynamos Cricket Centre
The club also has more than two hundred social members.
It’s not just about cricket!
The club is very much a family friendly club with a thriving social life & licenced bar. There’s always someone ready to fire up the barbecue and lots of fun evening events like race nights and quizzes, not to mention our annual Markofest family fun day.
The whole club is brilliantly run by our team of over 35 volunteers, to whom we are eternally grateful – without them there would be no club. If you feel you can spare a little time to be part of the friendly team that keeps this club alive
At Market Overton CC we run three competitive mixed junior teams: U11s; U13s & U15s.
We also run the All Stars Cricket programme from the ECB for 5 to 8 year olds.
We will be hosting the ECBs new Dynamos Cricket for 8-11 year olds (boys & girls).
We’re an inclusive, family-orientated, club with lots to offer young cricketers and their families all year round, inside and outside of cricket. The emphasis at Market Overton CC is firmly on having fun and all children that want to play at our club get a chance to play – nobody gets left out.
We believe that it’s this ethos which has led to some enviable success for our junior teams, with some players going on to play at county level and even representing England U17s at the Junior Indoor World Series in New Zealand in 2018 & currently representing Leicestershire County Cricket Club’s Pathway Teams
Women & Girl’s cricket is growing rapidly
Our women & girls are called the Marko Marvels
The Marvels love playing the game, and more are joining in all the time.
In response to this, we have expanded our women & girl’s cricket and now field two women’s hard ball teams in the East Midlands Womens League & soft ball team who play in festivals & friendly matches. The Marvels also reached the finals of the Leicestershire & Rutland Performance Indoor league in 2020.
We currently have three members of our women’s team playing for Leicestershire County Cricket Club’s Girls Pathway Teams.
We have girl’s teams who play in the Leicestershire & Rutland Girls League
We will also be hosting the ECBs new Dynamos Cricket and hold girls only sessions at Catmose College Sports Centre from Saturday 19th Feb 1pm-2pm for girls aged 7-13 years and then we will move outdoors from every Friday from 6th May 2022
So why not join us and give cricket a go?
Your age or fitness are not important, just have fun and enjoy a great team spirit.
All sessions are led by our ECB qualified coaches who are DBS cleared.
