ABOUT US
Ledbury Cricket Club have been playing in the town since their formation in 1837, around the same time as a team appeared in Ross-on-Wye, producing a rivalry longer than that between England and Australia, who first played each other in 1877.
In this section you can also find more details of our history, and a tribute to one of the club's legends, Geoff Fletcher.
