The Sunday game, taken seriously — but not too seriously.
ABOUT SALIX CC
Competitive enough to care. Relaxed enough to enjoy it.
It all became real in July 1991 when the newly formed Salix Cricket Club played their first game. Memories are a bit fuzzy on who the oppo was or the final result, but the club founded by Tony Fletcher and colleagues from Deloitte’s was up and running. The ethos was and remains to play social cricket, encouraging players of all abilities to join and just have some fun.
Thirty-five years is a long time, and I’m pleased to report that Salix is still going strong playing 35 over games most Sundays in or round West London with Barnes being our home for the last few seasons.
We’re always looking for new players, rusty or otherwise and if you fancy a game or two, please get in touch.

Last Time Out:
Salix CC
v Quokkas CC
A day that slipped through our fingers
Salix's fielding proved costly as Quokkas claimed a 163-run victory at Barnes Elms. Despite an outstanding debut from Thirumegan "Mega" Yogarajah (3-40) and a spirited 22 from fellow newcomer Shelvin Chand, eight dropped catches allowed Quokkas to post 262-7 before Salix were dismissed for 99. The afternoon may not have gone to plan, but there were plenty of encouraging signs from the club's newest recruits and enough optimism to look ahead to next Sunday.
