CHAMPIONS 🏆
In our Centenary Year, our 1st XI have managed to win the league and secure promotion for the first time in 22 years!
It’s been an incredible year of cricket for the lads, captained by Harry Daniel-Jones, thanks to everyone that has played 1st XI cricket this year!
👏 BREAKING NEWS 👏
We are delighted to announce that First XI player Chris Edwards will be awarded a British Empire Medal in Her Majesty the Queen’s Birthday Honours for his hard work and services to Learning Disability Cricket.
Unbelievable effort - well done Chris 👏
🏏 UPDATE 🏏
For all the wives and girlfriends, we can confirm that all cricket matches are going ahead today. All players need to travel and sit around. Unfortunately due to getting the covers on and off players won’t be able to answer their phone for the next few hours 👍🍻
All at Caldy CC are saddened to hear of the passing of Ron Morris. Ron was a great friend of the club, he was our 2’s umpire and put up our pro last year. He was also a loyal umpire to the Comp for many years. A brilliant man who always had a story to tell!
💥Celebrations!💥
Today Chris Edwards received his British Empire Medal for services to disability cricket, awarded to him in the Queen’s birthday honours list.
Very well deserved, Congratulations Chris!

It is with deep regret that we have to bring the news that Billy Wright sadly passed away yesterday morning (Wednesday 21st Feb 2024).
Whilst Billy had been unwell there was no anticipation of this news and the whole club is rocked by it, extremely tragic news.

A winning start for England Men’s Learning Disability team in South Africa.
Dan Bowser (62) and Ronnie Jackson (74) put on 129 for the opening wicket as England posted 171-5. Australia were restricted to 106-6 in reply, 2-11 for Kieron McKinney and 2-13 for captain Chris
All our thoughts and prayers are with the family of former Caldy player Danny Carr who passed away recently.
Danny was a great personality around the club and a top lad. Such a loss. We send our best to Carly and the rest of Danny’s family. He will be sorely missed
