approach to the game then take a look at our site and see if you'd like

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. 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.)
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
is affiliated to the Welsh Cricket Association and, through this body, to
the England & Wales Cricket Board.
