Welcome to the home page of the Guernsey Cricket Board.

Within this site, you will find comprehensive details on all aspects of Guernsey Cricket. The GCB's rules are all detailed within this site, as well as a full list of all member clubs together with their contact details. In addition the site acts as the definitive source for fixtures across the competitions locally including the fixtures of all the age group Island sides and GICC.

For Clubs wishing to bring touring sides to Guernsey each page has contact details at the bottom, following such contact the Guernsey Island Cricket Club (GICC) will reply and be actively involved in assisting to make your tour to Guernsey an enjoyable one.

Our highly respected GCB Junior Development Scheme, under the control of Jason Shambrook and David Hooper run sessions for various separate age groups all year round, starting at year 3 running through to year 11. In all, over 1200 children feature in sessions run by the development officers throughout the year. Cricket is in a boom phase on the Island, with further development work starting up through both girls schools, and the disabled groups.

This year the Senior Island Squad will be competing on home soil in the ICC European Division One T20 Championship from 18 July to 25 July, the final two days of which are played in Jersey as co-hosts. GCB has the honour to be welcoming to the Island the national teams of Croatia, Gibraltar, Italy and Norway (plus the runner up from ICC European Division Two T20 Championship) to compete against Guernsey at KGV, Port Soif and College Field. Details will follow shortly of the tournament website that will allow you to see where and when you can catch a match and also keep up to date with all the results and action. The top two from this tournament will then go forward to the ICC CWC T20 Global Qualifier where they will be one step away from going to the ICC T20 World Cup and match ups against England, India, Australia et al !!

Talking of the world stage Guernsey embark on a new Pepsi ICC World Cricket League campaign in September when we go to Malaysia to compete in WCL6 playing the hosts, plus Fiju and Jersey who came down from WCL5 in 2010, plus the two teams to be promoted from WCL7 in Botswana.

There is also of course the 'little matter' of the Marlborough Inter Insular Trophy against Jersey which this year will take place on 3 September at KGV. Having been succesful now in 2009 and 2010 Guernsey will be looking to hold onto the Trophy!

Due to the very social nature of the Island, the Barclays Wealth Evening League continues to be very popular with 39 teams competing this season across 4 Divisions. In addition this year there is the exciting addition of the Barclays Wealth Dave Fisher Memorial EL Trophy being contested for by the four WL sides in a T16/20 format on grass wickets. Games will be played on Tuesday nights starting on 3 May at KGV and Port Soif with the Final at Port Soif on Tuesady 24th May, so get yourself down there to join in all the fun! There is also the Wave Telecom Weekend League cricket scene in the form of a 1stXI Championship and also the Wave Telecom GCA Bowl. Weekend League cricket in 2011 will al be played on grass improving standards in the purest form of cricket.

2011 sees the CI Club Championship roll into it's third year now in partnership with Investec with 5 teams from Guernsey competing against 5 from Jersey across weekends from July through to August. This year the Investec CI League will see teams split into two groups of five playing a round robin format before Semi-Finals and a Final. Rathbones Old Victorians from Jersey are the defending champions.
