Rockhampton Cricket Club was founded as far back as 1872 and despite the ups, the downs, the trials and tribulations that any sporting institution undergoes, the Club is enjoying live in the West of England Premier League – Glos Division.
As a GCB Focus Club and a community Cricketing Centre of Excellence, the Club now boasts 4 Saturday League senior teams and a flourishing youth setup. The Club also hosts County standard matches at various levels. The Club is a recognised GCB Focus Club and enjoys close relationships with Gloucestershire CCC.
In 1999 the New Pavilion at the Boundary Field was opened and the Club officially had a brand spanking new home. The wicket is recognised as one of the best tracks in the region and the setting is so gorgeous that the Club now takes wedding and other events bookings alongside the league cricket and visits from touring sides.
Down the road the iconic Common plays host to 3rd and 4th team cricket and complete with the eloquent bar, the rhine and the trees in the backdrop, The Common is the quintessential village cricket setting. There is no better place to be on a sunny afternoon, especially if the bbq is fired up and the cider is cold!
The Club is always welcoming new players and any number of social members so give us a call or just pop down for a visit.
ECB Clubmark Accreditation
Rockhampton Cricket Club is committed to providing the best possible environment for its young cricketers and as a result, we are pleased to have been made an ECB Clubmark Accredited Club. This accreditation is awarded to clubs who are prioritising junior development and creating a benchmark for high quality club cricket.
ECB Clubmark gives clubs an opportunity to write and implement new procedures as well as acknowledge existing practices. Cricket clubs are required to present evidence and demonstrate implementation across four different themes, culminating in the production of a Club Development Plan.

GCB Focus Club Status
Once a club has recieved Clubmark accreditation they then qualify to become a Focus Club. This allows them access to cheaper coach education courses for their coaches and offers them access to ECB funding. As a Clubmark Accredited Club, Rockhampton is privileged to be a Gloucestershire Cricket Board Focus Club, strengthening the links between us and the top clubs in the county.
