Sidmouth CC is delighted to host several Devon CCC fi xtures in the coming year, the fi rst of which is an early season friendly game v Somerset 2nd
X1. The Sidmouth link with our nearest fi rst-class county goes back over 140 years to a match at the Fortf ield in August 1875 between the respecti ve
Gentlemen of Devon and Somerset. That evening in the Sidmouth pavilion, the Somerset Gentlemen founded the Somerset County Club, encouraged
by some Devon personnel whose County side they had helped to set up in 1861.
Sidmouth is very proud of its unique heritage and wishes in the 2018 season to produce outstanding pitches for T-20, one-day and Championship
matches, and to extend top quality hospitality to all teams and spectators that come to play and watch at its magnifi cent ground.
