Welcome - Croeso

The Cavaliers cricket ethos is all about playing cricket with a capital F (for fun). If that describes your approach to the game then take a look at our site and see if you'd like to join us.

About the Cavaliers

We were formed in 1978 as a Post Office team.  Over the years the club became “open” and is now known as the “Cardiff Cavaliers”.  A number of founder members continue to be involved – some of whom still play!

Mid-week we play in the Willow League which comprises mostly business teams.  Although competitive in nature, with trophies up for grabs, the League aims to reflect the spirit of the game and matches are played in good humour.  In 2003, in our 25th Anniversary season, we won the Cup, continued with silverware in 2004 by winning the Plate competition and repeated this achievement in 2005 and again in 2009. In 2007 we reached the Cup Final again and were also unbeaten in the Cup during our 30th anniversary season in 2008 (the final being held over to 2009 due to a variety of circumstances - ultimately shared due to poor weather.)

We also play several friendlies mid-week, mainly in the second half of the season, including the annual “Ashes” series against Chartered Trust and for the “C&H Cup” against Highways Hurricanes.  Our weekend friendly fixtures see us travel in and around the Valleys where the matches are hard fought but always played with good humour and we have a fun social time.

The annual tour on the first weekend in August has taken us to various locations – from Chester to Torquay, and from Carmarthen to Cheltenham. In 2008, our 30th anniversary, we journeyed overseas to Amsterdam.

The club carries public liability insurance cover in the unlikely event that a member of the public is injured during an authorised club match.

If you enjoy playing cricket and want to join like-minded souls, we welcome new members (if you're under 18 please check our Youth policy).  If you would like to know more, become a member of have any suggestions or queries please contact us by email.
