Barby run three senior sides on a Saturday, a friendly XI on Sundays, ladies’ tip and run side and a range of midweek XIs catering for all ages.

Last year the first XI had a fantastic season and will be competing against the likes of Stratford, Coventry & North Warwickshire and Rugby CC in a restructured Warwickshire Premier Division this summer. This follows an incredible run of six promotions in 11 years.

Player of the season was 17-year-old Mathew Nobes, with fellow junior product 17-year-old Seth Westley gaining Warwickshire Under 19 honours.

The seconds and thirds play in Warwickshire Division 10 East and Northamptonshire Cricket League Division 11 respectively. Both sides, in addition to the friendly Sunday XI, are geared to playing cricket in the right way, blending youth and experience.
