Crewe Vagrants Cricket Club is thrilled to kick off another exciting season, both on and off the pitch, with developments that promise to make 2025 our biggest year yet.
Crewe Vagrants CC is once again stepping up as the driving force behind this year’s social calendar at The Vagrants. Following the success of last year's standout events - including the Horse Racing Night, Casino Night, and an unforgettable Elvis Tribute - we're excited to bring even more to the table in 2025. With Dan Bull and Ollie Jarvis proudly at the forefront, expect another fantastic year of fundraising and entertainment. A highlight to mark in your diaries is our Sportsman's Dinner with England legend Ashley Giles MBE, taking place on Saturday 6th September 2025 - an evening open to all and not to be missed!
We’re proud to have launched our brand new women’s team this year, led by the brilliant Nicki Jarvis. The team has hit the ground running, finishing in the top four and top two of their opening indoor winter leagues. Whether you're experienced or completely new to the sport, we're actively welcoming new players - just get in touch to find out more.
We’re extremely proud of our thriving junior section, managed by Calum Meakin and Ron Lawson. We continue to grow with teams at U9s, U11s, and U13s. It’s a great time for young cricketers to join, learn, and enjoy the game in a supportive and welcoming environment.
We run fun and inclusive junior cricket coaching every Friday evening 6:00-7:30pm at the Vagrants. All Stars Cricket (for ages 5-8) takes place on our Astroturf, alongside our U9s. U11s and U13s train on the grass outfield. Sessions are led by our team of qualified coaches, most ECB Level 2 certified. Sessions cost £4, but new players can try their first week for free. All equipment can be provided.
This season, we’re thrilled to welcome Whitby Morrison as a new sponsor and are deeply grateful for the continued support of Sahara Management Solutions, Coriolis Consultancy, Mornflake, and Sunrise Laundry. Their backing is vital in helping our club grow and thrive.
2023 was a memorable year across the club. Our U9s were crowned league champions, while our 2nd XI earned promotion after finishing second in their division. This came hot on the heels of our 1st XI’s promotion the previous year. Spirits are high as both senior men’s teams aim to push for promotion again in 2025.

Established in the vibrant cricketing landscape of the 1930s, Crewe Vagrants CC stands as a testament to the rich history and enduring spirit of the game. Born as a team without a home, we embarked on a journey of friendly away matches that shaped our identity and inspired the very essence of our name.
Nestled between Crewe and Nantwich, our club found its permanent home in the 1940s. Over the years, we've not only created a haven for cricket enthusiasts but have also expanded our horizons to encompass Crewe Vagrants Squash and Hockey, fostering a diverse sporting community.
Our commitment extends beyond the boundary ropes - our youth development program has nurtured talents like John Morris, who went on to represent England, Derbyshire and Durham and George Harding who also played for Durham. We’re equally proud of Richard Jarvis, our most recent internally capped player, who represented his birth country, Zimbabwe, at the Masters World Cup in February 2025. As a club, we’re passionate about shaping the future of cricket - nurturing young talent today to create the stars of tomorrow, with our sights firmly set on even greater success at local and national levels. The best is yet to come.
