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.

Sunday saw the Village host the Demijohns in a thrilling and hard-fought contest at Appleton. With Denning top scoring with a well built 90, the Demijohns were set 190 to win. The Demijohns were cruising at 139-4, only to lose their last 6 wickets for 46 runs with late wickets for Bibb, Ross and Smith.
