The club has three senior teams.[1] The Saturday XI, having traditionally played friendlies,[2] started playing competitive cricket in 2009, in the Northamptonshire Cricket League.

Gumley Top

Gumley is a small village in South East Leicestershire, 4 miles north west of Market Harborough. Gumley cricket field is situated in the middle of the scheduled remains of the Gumley medieval settlement[3] on the North West edge of the village, on a picturesque position along the gated road to Laughton. The field has extensive views of the valley looking South from the pavilion, and is characterised by the road which bisects a small portion of the outfield between the square and the pavilion. Motorists are relatively few on this particular stretch, but those that do arrive during a game are politely asked by way of a sign to wait until the end of the over.

History

There's a long history of cricket in Gumley, with reference to matches as early as the mid 19th century. One account, reported in the Leicester Chronicle in 1873 recorded a match between Kibworth and Gumley regressing into a brawl between the two teams, fueled in part by the presence of alcohol.[4] However, facilities and decorum have improved markedly over the years. A concerted effort by several club members have raised the quality of the square and fund raising efforts have yielded many improvements to the pavilion, in particular a much needed new roof.[5]

Touring

The club arranges an annual tour of 4 matches on consecutive days from the Thursday after the late May Bank Holiday. Past venues include: Margate, Braintree, Barnstaple, Havant, Harrogate, etc. The tour has been a regular feature of the club calendar since 2000.

Regular events

Club Day 2007 - some end of season fun
Club Day 2007 - some end of season fun

The club runs a range of events throughout the year. On the cricket side, the intra-club Twenty20 day has proved very popular. The last game of each season is the keenly fought Club Match. This has traditionally been a Saturday vs Sunday affair, but with the better players gravitating to the League side, a new format was introduced in 2009 of 'Greys' (being over 35) vs 'Kids'. A recent addition to the calendar is Presidents Day. This is seen as an opportunity to say 'thank you' to our benefactors and features the Sunday team taking on a Select XI.

Away from cricket, a variety of social and fund-raising events are held throughout the year, ranging from golf days to millionaires evenings and race nights. The club arranges a fireworks display each Guy Fawkes night, in conjunction with the local Scout troop. This event regularly attracts a very large audience from the surrounding villages.
