Tis the season for holly and Christmas pud, but the powers that be at Modbury Cricket Club have been hard at work on this year’s fixture list. See the full list below, and it can be found in the fixtures list of the website. Here’s to a summer with sun, large tea’s, and maybe the…

The Modbury CC Season of 2025 Another summer gone, another scorebook closed, and Modbury CC emerge with six wins, seven defeats, and the vague air of men who have fought the good fight and mislaid the map halfway through. Draws, of course, are for the faint of heart — and Modbury were never going to…

It was one of those genial Devon afternoons when even the clouds seemed content to loiter as idle spectators. The sun shone in a well-mannered fashion — warm but not sweltering — while a lazy breeze wandered across the ground, carrying with it the scent of freshly baked Monte Carlo biscuits and the faint promise…

If ever a day was made for cricket of the most farcical variety, it was Sunday: hot, humid and close — the sort of oppressive weather that makes even the sturdiest flannels cling in awkward places. Think more Tropics than Totnes. South Brent arrived to face a Modbury side buoyed by recent successes but soon…

It was a Sunday of such meteorological perfection that even the most hardened of pessimists would have struggled to find fault. The sun shone with a benevolence rarely seen outside of postcards, and the gentle breeze carried with it the scent of freshly cut grass and the distant aroma of smoked salmon and cucumber sandwiches.…

Harberton opened the batting and despite a some fantastic bowling managed a very respectable 93 for Modbury to chase. Chase Modbury did but as the light faded, they managed a respectable but short 74 runs. A great game of cricket played in the stunning setting of Harberton. Next up is South Brent away on Sunday!

Modbury kicked off  the cricket season with a competitive game against local rivals Ermington!  Modbury won the toss and chose to bat. Modbury’s settled opening pair of James Sloman (Slapps ) and Guy Speed strode out to the crease with purpose.  A watchful start the Modbury pair ended when Sloman was adjudged to be out…
