We are a welcoming, family-friendly club for experienced league cricketers, players returning to the game and people who have recently moved to Loughborough and want regular competitive cricket.
Regular cricket. Friendly club.

Competitive league cricket across our 1st XI and 2nd XI, giving players opportunities at different standards.

Regular Saturday cricket alongside university or work
If you are studying or working at Loughborough University, Outwoods can give you regular Saturday league cricket alongside your university commitments.
