Juniors: Watch this space, we are hoping to run ECB All Stars Cricket this year, alternating between the Ermington and Modbury grounds.
Matches: The adult team usually plays against local villages on Sunday afternoons. The club shares the Riverside Ground at Ermington with Ermington CC and all home matches are played there. Practice games are sometimes played on the MARS field. We aim to be inclusive, rather than merely ambitious, and selection (when necessary) is based on commitment to club activities rather than ability. One or two women play occasionally and others are welcome, as are any new players who want to join. In 2022 we played 12 fixtures and even won a few. The aim is to play more as the number of players available increases.
Juniors: The Club doesn't currently have the facilities to stage junior cricket, although aspirations and plans are emerging to get this going shortly.
Nets: MARS and the Club installed two all-weather nets in 2012, these were dramatically improved and updated in 2022. The nets are the focus for Thursday night club training running April - September each year.
Cricket Ground: Modbury does not have a cricket ground. Consequently all matches are played away and the Juniors will be unable to enter teams on a league basis until a home ground is established. Addressing this need is a priority for MARS but raising the necessary funds to buy, level and install a cricket ground on any land purchased for such a purpose will require the support and backing of the local community. Please do get behind MARS' vision to extend the Recreation Field to provide additional football, general sport and full cricket facilities.

CYCLING IN MODBURY
The Recreation Ground in Modbury lies just 100 metres off a popular 15 mile cycle racing circuit known as the Modbury Circuit. This route hosts a number of local club races over the season and the Recreation Ground makes for an ideal starting point, with a good sprint finish on the approach road to the ground. Additionally, the Recreation Ground has provided one of the designated refreshment stops in the impressive 'Hammer' event, a 90 mile cycle sportif with far more hills than flats and definitely not one for the faint hearted!
