UEA Cricket Club is a men's and women's club open to all abilities from beginner to elite. Our indoor coaching and practice sessions will run for the majority of the first semester on Thursday afternoons and Sunday evenings run by coach Sam Arthurton. We aim to create a fun, enjoyable cricketing environment for all but also enjoy the competitive side.
During the first two semesters, we run two indoor men's teams and one indoor women's team competing in BUCS. During the summer semester, we run two mens teams which compete in BUCS and Derby Day and have the scope to set up an outdoor women's team and also to arrange occasional friendly matches.
UEA CC is a highly sociable club, with social events running approximately every week during the winter and summer. Socials include events such as clubbing, bowling, formal dinners and drinks. Lewis will be tailoring the socials, making them as inclusive as possible - it's a great way to make more friends at University and see what the club is like.
Taster sessions in the First and Second semesters will be available to come and see what it's like, please check the Instagram and Facebook pages for more details.
We are an active club, socially and with training and we hope you can join us!

The Real Cost of Sport
The 'Real Cost of Sport' initiative, a project reviewed and rebranded by the Students' Union in partnership with uea+sport, aims to provide prospective members with a comprehensive overview of the potential costs of joining their chosen sports club. This year, I have worked closely with the clubs to ensure these tables are as accurate and up-to-date as possible.
This guide is intended to serve as a general reference. The compulsory cost includes the uea+sport membership fee of £55, which is a one-time payment that covers membership across all clubs.
When considering additional expenses, it is important to note that some clubs may not have any extra costs, while others might incur additional fees. These costs often depend on the level of competitiveness within the sport; recreational or social participation is generally less expensive. Additionally, some equipment, such as shoes or gum shields, may be used across multiple sports, potentially reducing overall expenses.
For any specific questions or further information about a particular club, please contact the club directly or contact us at union.opportunities@uea.ac.uk for more details about the project.
All the best,
Olivia Hunt
