RIFLES Cricket

Published on July 7, 2023

Sport in the regiment is an important part of our identity, regardless of rank or playing ability.

Each battalion has their own team and the Regimental team has a packed and well attended fixture list each year. The Regimental team draws on all 5 Pillars of the Regiment and is open to all levels. Despite popular myth cricket is not an Officer focused sport, although many do play. RIFLES cricket is open to all ranks and the teams are always on the look out for new players to join them. We are lucky enough to have the beautiful St Cross Cricket Club in Winchester as our home ground where we play our fixtures. The facilities are exceptional and the ‘tea’ has to be one of the best you will find on the circuit. The Rifles have played at St Cross since the 1870s and have a great relationship with the local community.

So if you would like to play please get in touch with your Unit Cricket Officer or send a message here on SWIFT and someone will reply.
