There was once a dream that was IVCC. You could only whisper it. Anything more than a whisper and it would vanish... it was so fragile. And we feared that it will not survive the 2013 winter. But survive it did, and so the gentlemen players got together in a backstreet boozer in OX4 and established Iffley Village Cricket Club in 2014. With the ethos behind the club being to play friendly 40-over and 20-over cricket matches against like-minded clubs around the country, our focus is as much on playing competitive cricket as it is enjoying a beer with the opposition after the game, and with the journey being far more important than the result.
If you want to get in touch with us for any reason, please email committee@ivcc.co.uk. We are also on Twitter @IffleyVillageCC.

First outing for BillBall ultimately unscuccessful v Pelicans
A strong batting performance (Conway 69, Ross 95, FCA 0) saw the Villagers post 258-5 from 35. A quick outfield, some generous bowling, and a gun Pelicans opener saw the oppo reach their target with 5 overs to spare and plenty of wickets in hand. Highlights of the day included FCA's 3-ball duck, terrific catches from Morton (2), FCA and Troth, and the first BillBall umbrella fielding configuration. Oh, and some cracking fajitas.

Smith's Sixers Sniff at the Seat of Sibcliffe's Success
Another fine 6-a-side tournament comes to a close, and again a Sibcliffe side tasted victory. Olly's valiant Yellows put in strong performances but couldn't quite get the results to see them through, but did avoid last place by winning the wooden spoon final. Bill's brave Whites had 2 victories and a tie to top the leaderboard going into the semis. A hard-fought win there, led by Bill soldiering on despite a severe hamstring twang, and IVCC had a team competing for the big prize for the first time. Sadly, it wasn't to be... A fantastic day at Great Tew once again (thanks to Fergus and Jonesy for organising), and a great end to the season.
