Cricket

The cricket season runs from April through to early October. Home matches are usually played on Sundays and begin around midday. Here you'll find out more about WCC fixtures & results. Nets are every Friday evening, starting anytime after 6pm, and continue until it begins to grow dark! Following training there is social gathering in the Restaurant Rössli, just fifteen minutes from the ground. Obviously practice does not continue all year round, but the gathering in the evening does and is usually the best way to meet the founding members of the club.
Winterthur Cricket Club participate in the domestic 40-over league, the National Mr. Pickwick T20 Cricket Cup, T20 competitions (including Zuoz & Cricket On Ice) and on occasions hosts its own cricket festival. It also organises tours to destinations, such as Italy, France, England, Czech Republic and Germany. Winterthur is also the adopted home of the regional youth team, the Zurich Crickets Cricket Club.
