OXFORD DOWNS

Oxford Downs is a Cricket Club based in Standlake (nr. Witney) in Oxfordshire. Our 1st XI play in Division 2 of the Home Counties Premier Cricket League, and the 2nd, 3rd and 4th XIs play in the Cherwell Cricket League in Divisions 2, 6B and 8C. We also have a number of boys and girls junior teams competing at Under 9, Under 11, Under 13, Under 15 and Under 19 Level... So in 1923 the Oxford Downs Cricket Club was formed, initially as the private club of the local Pickford farming family, and playing on one of their fields off Martin's Lane. Friendly matches were played on weekend afternoons with tea being taken in a nearby cottage. Facilities were strictly limited. This format continued until well after the war when the club was opened up to a wider membership and both it's character and it's fixture list were significantly changed.
