🏏🌍 ASPIDA BACKS NEW GUERNSEY CRICKET NATIONS CUP

The stage is set for the inaugural Aspida Guernsey Cricket Nations Cup, bringing together players from across the Island’s diverse international communities for a festival of fast-paced T10 cricket!

Following an open, unseeded draw, the six teams have been split into two groups:

GROUP A
🇬🇬 Guernsey – sponsored by Golf 19
🇿🇦 South Africa – sponsored by Zeta
🇮🇳 India – sponsored by Smarter Payments

GROUP B
🌍 Rest of the World – sponsored by Samley
🇧🇩 Bangladesh – sponsored by Apogee
🇵🇰 Pakistan – sponsored by Leonard Curtis

The action gets underway on Monday 24 August, with each team playing the other two sides in its group. The top two will progress to the semi-finals before the first Aspida Guernsey Cricket Nations Cup Final on Wednesday 2 September. 🏆

The Guernsey side will have its own twist, with players selected from Divisions 2, 3 and 4 of the Headway T20 Surge and given the opportunity to represent the Island.

But the Nations Cup is about more than cricket. It’s a celebration of the different nationalities and communities that make up cricket in Guernsey, bringing players, families, friends and supporters together.

A huge thank you to Aspida Group, our title sponsor, and to Golf 19, Zeta, Smarter Payments, Samley, Apogee and Leonard Curtis for getting behind the six teams and helping bring the Nations Cup to life. 🙌

🏏 A HUGE 2027 AHEAD FOR THE GUERNSEY MAVERICKS 🏏

Planning for the 2027 Guernsey Mavericks season is already well underway – and next year is shaping up to be a big one!

While a number of fixtures and dates remain provisional, the programme currently being developed could see the Mavericks involved in up to 18 matches from May through to September, both on and off island.

Plans currently include:

🏏 Fixtures against Jersey CC
🏏 Matches as part of the MCC Tour to Guernsey
🏏 A three-match series against touring side Olney Town CC
🏏 An overseas tour to Nantes, France
🏏 Trips to Sark and Alderney
🏏 A season-ending overseas tour to Luxembourg
🏏 A mixture of T20, 30, 35 and 40-over cricket
🏏 Opportunities for both our Men’s and Women’s Mavericks teams

There is still plenty of work taking place behind the scenes and some details will inevitably change, but the provisional programme reflects our ambition to create more opportunities for players to represent the Guernsey Mavericks and enjoy competitive cricket both at home and further afield.

We look forward to sharing confirmed fixtures and more developments over the coming months.

A huge thank you to everyone who continues to support the Mavericks, particularly our sponsors Leonard Curtis, whose support helps make opportunities like these possible.

Bring on 2027! 💪🏻
