Cricket has been played at Weston Colville for well over 100 years, the first reported match being in 1867 when the Weston Colville Thirteen took on Mr.Bullocks Thirteen, with the club winning the two innings match. Many matches have been played since that day and the club now fields two senior weekend teams, a midweek XI, and three junior teams.

The weekend teams play in the Cambridgeshire & Huntingdonshire Cricket League, with the 1st XI in Divison 2 of the Tucker Gardner Premier League and the 2nd XI in the Cambridgeshire Cricket Association Junior League. The midweek team plays in the Adams Harrison League and the juniors play at various age groups in the Cambridgeshire Youth Cricket Association League.

Although there have been a few football teams in the past, cricket has remained the primary sport in the village. One of the products of the clubs youth policy is Tom Westley, who in addition to being a professional with Essex, has also captained England U19s and Durham University. Chris Scott, former Notts & Durham wicketkeeper and now head coach at Cambridge University lives in the village.

Many will remember Ipswich Town winning the FA Cup in 1978. Substitute that day was Mick Lambert, who came from Balsham and was also a fine cricketer who played many times for us. Before he devoted his career to football he spent some time on the staff at Lords where on one occasion he was a substitute fielder in a Test match.

We hope that by encouraging and supporting young players as they develop in the game, we will continue to see Weston Colville cricketers take the field for many years to come.

Weston Colville is located in the south eastern corner of Cambridgeshire close to the Suffolk and Essex borders. During 2010-2011 the village took part in a project called Sharing Stories, a Heritage Lottery funded project run by Inspire, an organisation that promotes wellbeing through art. This project saw many villagers interviewed and their experiences of life in the village can be found on the Weston Colville Stories website.
