- Club Info
- Almond Valley cricket club was re-formed in 1989 and since then has been playing a range of Sunday and midweek fixtures from April through to September. Having used three different sites as the club's home pitch for the first fourteen years, we have been lucky enough to play at Doo'cot Park since the 2004 season and have now made it our permanent home. Doo'cot offers superb playing, netting and changing facilities and we are thankful to the generosity of the Gannochy Trust who own the ground.
If you are interested in the club and want to know more you can email us at almondvalleycc@hotmail.co.uk - Nets news
- Out door nets up and running ever Tuesday from 6pm at Doo'cot. Bowling machine now in place to properly expose all our various flaws and wing 90mph yorkers down at Chunk!
- Latest news
- Good start to the league with two wins from two plus progress in the mpower trophy at the expense of 2nd division Mayfield.

Darryl Lindsay27 weeks agoSuperb, a place in the match report. My season is on the up. Just need to score a run now.....
-
Almond Valley Cricket Club76 weeks agoJust finished the match report from sunday.
Before anyone asks, i haven't checked it for spelling mistakes, incorrect fall of wickets, bad grammar, incorrect cricket terminology, or anything else. Just buried through it and sent it to the paper. If anyone reading this finds it weighted towards one person or another - tough.
Any young lads reading it who thinks i have done them a hardship - tough!
I have larnt from my mistakes over previous match reports so by reading this message you are agreeing to the AVCC way of cricket.....
OUR OWN WAY!!!!
Living the dream baby! Oh yeah! -
Almond Valley Cricket Club76 weeks agoWell guys - i hear that Lumpy from the St Modans was on form again a couple of sundays ago. i wish i could have seen that and wound him up.
God am i looking forward to playing them again... whos up for a good old fashioned ruck with the billies from the hills? -
Duncan Cuthill79 weeks agoGoodness me Sluggo you appear to have upset someone. i thought that was my job?
To the young fellow who is writhing in angst against the comments of Sluggo, what he wrote is in the past which makes it History and, as you will learn as you grow older is that historians are great story tellers. More than half of history would sound like crap if it hadn't been embelished just a little so, pick youself up, dust youself off, grow a set and write your own future, only then can you be the Historian. Give us a good story! -
Andy80 weeks agoAfter reading your column in the local Perthshire Advertiser i feel Somewhat Suprised that a club like Almond Valley C.C. with such a good reputation of sportsmanship could stoop to using such derogatory descriptions in the match report concerning the recent meeting at Doocot Park between Almond Valley C.C and Glendelvine C.C in the Strathmore and Perthshire Third Division.
Quotes Such as "Marshall tried to pull it back with a quick 14 before he top edged a poor Ross". Actually if i was that bad of a bowler your batsmen wouldnt have spooned my bowling straight down the throat of mid on.Not only is this terminology incorrect but surely is implemented in such a way as only to mis inform the reader of an unlucky wicket, the truth being i, a 14 year old bowler, picked up that wicket on the way to reaching figures of 3-18. This seems even more far fetched when one of the wickets i took of J. Taylor the batsmen who has scored over 4,300 runs for the club perhaps it was luck .... -
Almond Valley Cricket Club80 weeks agoScratch that - i have found it.
Shut up dickheads! -
Almond Valley Cricket Club80 weeks agoTis quiet on the Valley front - My bad i feel since this is a task of mine!
Any hoo - Can someone please find me the application of finding the Poll, so we can create some wind ups amongst the Valley's finest!
Anyone??? -

Peter Newman84 weeks agoWell gentlemen, let's hope the good winning form can carry over into the Kinross game. And that they bring along a 9 year old girl to get the McKenzies out....
-
Duncan Cuthill94 weeks agoWoo hoo the days are getting longer as the sun is making an appearance. wont be long now until i can embarrass my self and those around me at the spectacular setting that is doocot.
if you want to see a humorous video go to my bebo, a few people seem to think it funny!!!! -
Almond Valley Cricket Club95 weeks agoTut tut boys. Newman and I are real men, unlike you 2! I think we should give you each a tutu and watch you dance round each other touching and giggling.
Tubby bowling tosh? Read the bowling stats book boy! Oh yeah!
Newman - next net is this weekend (10th Feb), then we have 24th Feb and final indoor net of March 9th. Then its back to the bitter cold Scottish outdoors!

Robin Henry96 weeks agoHowdo !
I'm the person entrusted with the joyous task of sorting fixtures for Innellan Cricket Club this year. We have had fixtures in recent seasons and as our guys enjoyed the crack you boys seem to generate (we're pretty good at sledging our own too !) we were wondering if you might fancy a game this year?
Unfortunately as these things go - i only have a few dates left, both of which are in June...the 8th and the 22nd...not much flexibility there i know but if you would be interested give me a shout back and we'll see what we can arrange!
Cheers, Robin Henry. -
Grant Williamson96 weeks agoCricket banter, how bad........
anyway, I get a whole 3 weeks off for easter, so you poor avcc buggers might just have the misfortune of me appearing then.
Anyway, the three of you are as bad as each other, fat slow bowling tosh, sounds as much like you cant as it does Ginny or Ste. The cant bat bit just confirms it
Anyway, hope you have been having fun, Uni is great!!
Im off to do nothing all afternoon
-
Peter Newman96 weeks agoTrue say.
I love it when the McKenzie decides to twirls his leg side tosh. Six ahoy.
And I'm REALLY rubbish.
Any chance of someone letting me know the dates of nets and fixtures? I don't think John has the right contact details any more and I should be able to play a bit more this year.
Cheers. -
Duncan Cuthill103 weeks agoall is quiet in the avcc front where is everyone? i don't believe you're all on the sub continent whatching the poms get rogered.
-
Duncan Cuthill111 weeks agoI'm only writing some thing because it's a rare occasion when i can be arsed logging on.
outrageously happy to be appointed vice-captain for the 2008 season. hope it goes alittle better in the league this year.
i will have to be alot more pissed to ever pay 7 quid to get in to a shithole like the one we went to after AGM. if i want to watch semi-porn i'm sure i can do it at home without the threat of big men dressed in black wanting to hurt me for rubbing my lump!
caarn the valley. -
Grant Williamson116 weeks agoJust had a look at the aberdeen uni cc website. Think they may be a reasonably decent outfit
