A bat-and-ball game played between two teams of eleven players, cricket is a much-loved team sport. Cricket is unbelievably popular in the Caribbean and Cayman even has its own dedicated cricket pitch.
Founded in 1974, the Village Greenies are one of the oldest cricket clubs in Cayman. The Greenies have teams in both the men’s first and second grade.
The season runs from January through July, with some pre-season play October to December. It is a very social club and a great place to meet people. If you are interested in playing, email: admin@villagegreenies.com or visit https://villagegreenies.com.
