History and Founding

The Old Imperials Cricket Club represents the continuation of the Imperial College Union Cricket Club, and is made up of Imperial alumni. Founded in 2023, the alumni club has continued to grow and represents the best cricketers Imperial has ever produced.

With regular summer fixtures, including both Sunday games against local clubs, as well as weekly 8-a-side games in the Victoria Park Cricket League, we aim to provide competitive and enjoyable games, with a good atmosphere.

We also have regular socials, in the summer and the winter, an affiliated 5-a-side football team called Achton Villa, and an annual summer tour to an interesting country.
