Barry Wanderers Cricket Club, nestled within the grounds of Hayes Point, offers residents a welcoming space to enjoy the spirit of the game. Whether you’re watching a weekend fixture or joining a friendly midweek match, the club brings together players and spectators in a relaxed, community-driven setting.
Founded in 1970 by a group of college students, the club earned its “Wanderers” name by playing across South Wales before settling at its picturesque home in Hayes Point. Today, its well-kept pitch and inviting pavilion make it a local gem for cricket enthusiasts of all levels — no league commitments or formal registration required.
The club fields two Saturday league sides, a midweek evening team, and a friendly Sunday side, with matches throughout the season in the Thomas Carroll Conference League and the Vale of Glamorgan Midweek League. Annual tours, social events, and standout fixtures — including a match at Lord’s in 1996 — make Barry Wanderers not just a place to play, but a place to belong.
