The Club Is Founded
The Winn Family cricket journey begins. A simple idea between a family who loved the game becomes a club — and the badge reads “EST. 2024”.
The official history · 2024 – today
OurHistory
“Family. Cricket. Twenty overs of glory.”
It started with a bat, a ball and a back garden in 2024. In the seasons since, the Winn Family T-20 League has grown from family games on the lawn into a proper league — named teams, a Winter Cup, sponsors, a junior side, a matchday TV channel and the Winn Family Association to look after the rules.
This is the whole story so far: every first, every final and every trophy, set out year by year — plus the chapters we're still planning to write.
