In
2000, the
Club won the 50th North Devon Knock Out Cup, beating Hatherleigh at
Instow on a wet Friday evening. Team picture
here, match
report
here.
Here's a picture of the
ground circa late
1950's (we believe). Note that the Pebble Ridge Hotel stands
prominently behind where the present Pavillion is situated. And
notice the Beach Huts where the Go-Karts now whizz round.
Behind the Pavillion these days are modern bungalows. Thanks to Paul
Argyle for this one.
The Club used to play in the Vickers Credit Winter Indoor League
at North Devon College until that particular competition folded.
Here's a
report
about an extraordinary record-breaking game (I think in
1998) where Bideford scored
200 in 12 overs and then bowled the opposition out for just 10!
Former Test match umpire David Shepherd officially opens the new
Artificial wicket in
2006.

The 2005
the Annual President/Steve Elworthy Memorial Match was a
one-sided affair ("We was robbed!" scream the Oldies) but the
team photos and report can be viewed
here.
In 2003, the Club
went on its second Overseas pre-season Tour to Ibiza. It must have
done someone some good, as the Sunday 1st XI went on to win the
North Devon League division 1 title. Ibiza team picture
here.
Here's a
photo
from one of the Club's most successful seasons -
1980
Much indebted to Martin Hockin's parents for this one - a
newspaper report on the
1971 Season -
the first season after the Cricket Clubs joined forces. Look out for
some familiar names in the averages - go get 'em fellas!
An
1879 photo - honest! - clearly shows
Westward Ho! and the
cricket field
(top right),
by the row of houses.
