Danbury Cricket Club

DCC lost its first T20 of the season but it was an overall good effort in the field. Our batting needs better planning and more intensity. Everyone will need to step it up! Plenty more matches are lined up on the calendar and we need to be fit for the season. Practice, exercise, running, stretching.. throughout the season these things will be vital for DCC's success. 

The 2012 Southern CT Cricket Association is underway and our first match is on Saturday, a T20 clash with Cheshire CC at 1100am at Broadview MS.

The uniforms are here and Danbury CC is ready to roll !

The 2012 season schedule / fixtures list is updated. Please visit the page for all the Cricket action for 2012. The Southern CT Cricket Association starts off with the Twenty/20 season and the 40 Overs matches season matches are also scheduled. Its going to be a long summer of cricket.. Stay updated, connected, and stay in shape!

Hicksville CC from Long Island NY will be visiting Danbury this Sunday Oct 16th for a match at 1pm. Old friends, and winners of the first ever tournament back in July 2001 are coming off a great season in the Commonwealth Division B League, where they were the T20 champions. Danbury will need to step up their game

Hillside Cricket Club from Queens NY will be visiting Danbury for the weekend to play 2 matches this weekend. Danbury is prepared to host both matches, and we have 12-13 players available for each match. Great stuff from the team, shows our depth and a few of the guys are playing both days even! Good Luck, Saturday's match will begin approx 1230 and Sundays match will begin approx 130. Both will be played in the traditional White clothing and Red Ball !!

Congratulations to the Under 30 team for winning the first Over 30 vs Under 30 Series. They are the champions and will look to defend the Cup next season from the Over 30 guys. Their team is young, mostly under 25 and will be practicing hard over the off season to ensure they keep the Cup next season. Man of the Match was Farooq Akhtar for his solid batting at the end along with newcomer Umar Shafqat as their partnership was too much for the Over 30 guys. Under 30 were asked to bowl in cloudy and tough conditions for the batsman and they did well to restrict the Over 30 to only 94 from 21 overs. Rizve Ahmed and Atif Zafar batted well in the innings, but it wasnt enough as Under 30 remained firm under pressure and took the series! Some great bowling in the series overall from Adeel Syed, Abid Zafar, Mazaharul Islam, some great fielding from Farooq Akhtar, Saqib Zafar, Rizve Ahmed, great wicket keeping by Ariful Islam and Sathya Singh. Great knocks in the series as well from Atif Zafar, Rizve Ahmed, Mirza Shah, Abid Zafar, Saqib Zafar, Farooq Akhtar, Mazaharul Islam, Muhammed Adeel, and overall a great CLUB effort, in the end .. Danbury Cricket Club was the winner of course !!

Due to weather, we have rescheduled the Grand Opening of the Cricket Batting Cage, and our Final match of the Over 30 vs Under 30 series. Saturday October 1st @ 12pm.
