City Cricket Academy Leicester have a team in partnership with Hinkley Town. They have a first and second XI. Worth speaking to Don at CCA

Hinkley is not a bad ground, played there a few times. I believe CCA own Hinckley now. But speak to the lads at CCA, I'm sure they will sort you out.

That's correct @Centurion. CCA run Hinkley Town. Don at CCA is in charge of it

How rude!!  ;)

40 years young @19reading87 - I reckon I was at Wardens for 2-3 seasons 1988-1990/1-ish, brandishing a Gray Nics Twin Scoop if I recall correctly!  Only played junior, never played adult cricket there.  Did that at Masseys in Coventry for a bit and played T20 on Tuesday for them in various guises up until a couple of years ago.  Live in South Northants now so too far to go for an evening hit and giggle, plus I run a LMS league midweek so no chance now...

Don't go to Hinckley. CCA basically use it as their own academy now for 1s and 2s. Certainly lost a bit of its club feel especially for guys the wrong side of 35. As their 1sts are in the prem and 2s a development team, I think you would struggle to get the game time you deserve and need. Don't want to sound like im slagging them off as they are doing a great job bringing through talented youngsters and as most players are from the Leicester Asian community its always good to integrate everyone from the area.
