The season to come…
Dropping Soon (April 2025)
Beginning with Intraclub on Sat 26th April, we then see a variety of new and returning oppositions across May, before we head back off to the Isle of Wight for a weekend tour.
With home and away games spread throughout the season until mid September, along with LPL fixtures, some flagship T20 fixtures (including Friday at Kew and Thursday at Putney), and most importantly the long-awaited return of the bank-holiday-Supertest (!!) it’s set to be a cracker of a season!
Please get in touch if you’d be keen to get involved in it!
2024 was another fantastic season for the Road with plenty of success both on and on the pitch. The year of Chris Brown’s now famous hattrick (nominated for Cannes Best Short Film 2025), a huge number of impressive wins, hard-fought chases and defences, Moany’s unbeaten T20 campaign, Pinkney’s 150* before we failed to defend 225 at Abinger, Russel’s debut in the English game, the welcoming of Ben, Nimit and Dan as strong newcomers, Ali’s well-deserved 100th wicket (and kneecap incident in the Road Olympics), Bristol’s cricketing highs, cricketing lows, and footgolf. Plenty of action and a strong team ready for the battles of future seasons!
Oscar Newlove, Captain 2024 and proud reigning ‘Mop’.

2022 was a year of change, a year of firsts, and a year of song for The Road.
For the first time ever, we beat the mighty Butterlords, following a spell of leg spin wizardry from Luke Shermer. We vanquished the mighty Unabombers with a crushing victory in which every member of the team contributed. We travelled to Missenden to finally hold our nerve against the Dors. And of course, we wrapped up our third LPL title after what might be this club’s greatest ever run chase, powered by the superb Dougie Fair and Connor McGilligan in their debut seasons.
It was a year in which we returned to the old ways, with teas making back in force, driven by our unsurpassable Andy Craigie. It was also a year blighted by the infamous stand down scandal – a sign of fantastic health for the club and fantastic headaches for the captain.
We racked up runs, wickets, wins and hilarity week after week. As captain, it was a total pleasure to lead the team in 2022. The atmosphere was fantastic throughout, many players put together some of their best ever performances, and it made for the perfect springboard into the 2023 season.
And of course, rounding it off with ‘We Didn’t Start the Collapse’ by T Birch on the lute was about as fitting an end to a Road season as is imaginable.
Allez!

Tours: Edinburgh and Portugal
After a Covid impacted start to the season, we finally were allowed out to play with our friends and the vector of disease in late July of 2020. Luckily, with hard work from Keats and our oppositions, we managed to still play an impressive 15 games including Intra, with some memorable days on the field. An early demolition (all out for 78) by the Antelopians, before they then offered a sympathy T20 which they also won, heralded the start of the season. But impressive games and performances were to follow, with 4 200+ scores delivered to win a good number of games! It was great to finally get out on the field and finally welcome the newbies who had bravely joined the whatsapp group for 6 months before they could play and meet the strange team.
Captain: Jamie Keats
Tour: N/A: Covid Impacted
Captain Chris Brown. 26 games played. More wins than losses for first time since 2011. Norwich Tour. RAMMING Speed.
Captain Matt Small. Tour: Bath. Definitely the year of the ringer, the fall of an icon, and the only way was up. Games 24, Wins 7 (sadface)
Captain Matt Small. Tour: Bournemouth. A team on the turn, lots of newbies, scores up, Mo’s up. Games 20, Wins 6
Sherman’s cat won the captaincy vote and then instantly resigned, leaving me to sweep in and claim power, we regained the South London Ashes from the badgers, James Couldrey was finally reprogrammed into a batsman and Rossi took a marvellous hattrick. We dined like Kings that night. Truly, it was a strange season.
Mark Isham, 2014 Captain
