Cricketer Trophy Draw 2021

The Cricketer Cup website is delighted to host the details of the draw for the Cricketer Trophy in 2021. The Cricketer Trophy is another prestigious knock-out competition for alumni cricket clubs. The fact that 50 alumni teams will be competing for the two trophies in 2021 shows the interest there is in cricketers playing for their alumni clubs when they leave school. The Cricketer Cup looks to the most successful sides in the Cricketer Trophy when it is considering expansion of its own competition and, in recent years, Old Millfieldians and Lancing Rovers have joined. The Cricketer Trophy is hoping to increase the number of clubs competing in 2022 and 2023, so, if there are other alumni clubs wishing to join, please get in touch with its Secretary, Rich Brown of Old Hamptonians Cricket Club on ohacricket@gmail.com.
