The Venturers Cricket Club results archive

Below is the fixture list for the 2005 season, with home matches displayed in Green, and away matches displayed in Blue. Given the success of the 2003 and 2004 season experiments of co-ordinating the Venturers match schedule with that of the Civil Service Team who also play at the Sulis Ground, it was decided that this arrangement would continue for the 2005 season. All matches involving the Civil Service in some capacity have been marked in Red.

In advance of the 2005 season, the Team Manager, the Team Captain and various other people in the club wrote brief player profiles for the team which can be accessed here.
