The Coaver Gerries Cricket Club (formerly known as The Exeter Geriatrics) exists as an inclusive club to provide cricketers of whatever ability the means of playing cricket outside the pressures and competitive nature of league and cup cricket.

We believe the club is for all who wish to adhere to the true spirit of the game and enjoy playing in an atmosphere where friendship and enjoyment are the paramount considerations.

Whilst we believe in playing to win this will never be at any cost.

Furthermore, whilst historically the club has been a home for players over the age of 40, we now very much welcome those under that age who adhere to our ethos, aims and philosophy.

Like many cricket clubs, we host annual social events, including the tour, the annual quiz, club dinner and golf day.  These events all contribute to local charities close to the players hearts.

We are always on the lookout for new players – so if you are new to cricket, or you haven’t played for a while or you have been playing for years, get in touch we’d love to hear from you!
