The present club has been in
existence for some fifty years, being a merger between Notts Unity and Casuals
Cricket Clubs. Notts Unity were a founder member of the Nottinghamshire
Cricket Association in 1898 and are one of the oldest cricket clubs in the
county.
The 1st XI are currently members of the
Nottinghamshire Premier League,
which is at the top of the pyramid of the local league structure in The County.
Whilst the 2nd XI are members of the
Gunn and Moore South Nottinghamshire Cricket League
Which is the feeder league to the premier league for clubs
in the South of the County.
Notts Unity Casuals has a unique claim to fame in that over the last
twenty years no less than nine players produced from the clubs ranks have gone
on to become professional cricketers with Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club.
Peter Such (Notts, Leics, Essex & England), Mick Newell (Notts), Russell Evans
(Notts), Kevin Evans (Notts), Andy Pick (Notts & England A), Wayne Dessaur
(Notts & Derbys),Paul Pollard (Notts), Noel Gie (Notts) and, the most recent,
Nadeem Malik (Notts, Worcs & England U19). This is unique amongst clubs in the county
and only matched by one other club in England.
The Club currently runs junior teams for under 11's through to under 15's. The
Club feel it is important to offer young people the opportunity to play the game
of cricket and is vitally important for the future of the club.
The hope is that
these sides produce players to feed the clubs senior teams and maybe more young
professional to follow in the footsteps of those professionals mentioned above.
We are well known for being a family club with wives, partners and children all
welcome at the Club as we believe that it is important that those not playing
cricket are made as welcome as the players.
