WELCOME TO THE COPDOCK & OLD IPSWICHIAN CRICKET CLUB WEBSITE....
Nestling beside the Old London Road, you will find Copdock and Old Ipswichian Cricket Club. Originally founded some 168 years ago, this unique institution has managed to transgress the plains of time from Victorian England to the new millenium.
Merged with Old Ipswichians in the 1990's the club has its roots in the villages of Copdock and Washbrook, but with the added strength of ongoing links and partnerships with the redoutable 'Ipswich School', and its members past, present and future.
The Club currently fields four senior mens teams, plus a thriving Ladies XI. The 1st XI compete in Division One of the Marshall Hatchick Two Counties Cricket Championship and are striving to join the elite East Anglian Premier League. The 2nd achieved promotion into Division Four last season, and are hoping to replicate this success in 2009. The 3rd XI won the Division C Championship last year, and it is this team that provides an invaluable player pathway from Junior to Senior cricket. In addition, we have also entered the Premier Division of the PDQ Cars North Essex League. This competition will help ensure all our members have ample cricketing opportunities in 2009.
A thriving, Clubmark accredited, junior section complete the playing front with over 150 youngsters aged nine to sixteen competing at all levels with the wonderous enthusiasm of youth.
All this is set in the wonderful ground which now has facilities that are the envy of most in Suffolk cricket. A playing surface fit to stage regular minor counties cricket and a modern clubhouse set in the landscape of a village setting is a joy to behold.
