Welcome To 'The Finest Club In The World'

Our Chairman Mike Thomas first coined the phase, and now not many members don't believe that they belong to "The Finest Club In The World"
We welcome new members who wish to play for us or just support us as we try to play our lovely summer game.
We run two elevens in the Hertfordshire Cricket League on Saturdays along with a 3rd XI & 4th XI in the Millman, and three in the Bedfordshire League on Sundays.
We also enter the competitions run by the East Beds Shield. In 2006 we won the East Beds Senior Shield & in 2008 the Heritage Cup. In 2009 we lost in the final of the Heritage Cup & East Beds Senior Shield.
We have two Under 10 sides, two under 12, two under 14 and a Under 16 side all taking part in the Bedfordshire Youth League.
Details of our winter colts programme can be found on the Mid Beds Youth Cricket Cluster's web site
http://midbedycc.play-cricket.com
A body which we fully support for the good of Bedfordshire cricket.
Our main ground Ampthill Park, is lovely and our bar well stocked. From 2009 we have made a second home on Marston Playing Fields
We have Clubmark and are a Bedfordshire Cricket Board Focus Club
We hosted our first Minor Counties Fixture in 2006. With Lincolnshire, Norfolk, Cheshire & Oxfordshire having visited the Park.
On the 25th April 2010 Herefordshire will visit the Park to take on Bedfordshire in a 50 overs a side fixture
