TEAMS

Both teams compete in the BUCS Indoor and Outdoor competitions. Training and coaching is supervised by coaches and staff from the MCC Centre of Excellence which is based at UWIC. The centre provides UWIC students with the opportunity to play against first class opposition through a funded scheme designed to provide a pathway for talented cricketers into the First Class game. During the seven years the MCC scheme has been based at UWIC over 50 UWIC students have represented the centre and played in several First Class 3 day county games. The scheme works in close partnership with Glamorgan CCC and provides opportunities for UWIC students who are selected for this pathway to practice and play at a test match venue.
