Former England Women’s Captain and Southern Vipers coach Charlotte Edwards has officially opened Burridge’s newly refurbished and upgraded net facility at the Botley Road ground.
This marked a major milestone in Burridge’s ongoing commitment to player development, particularly the club’s junior players. Put alongside the launch of the Burridge Academy this year, it signals the club’s ongoing intent to support its young players as they progress through the age groups. Beginning with the ECB’s All Stars and Dynamos, the club runs nine teams through the age groups including dedicated girls sides.
In opening the new facility, Charlotte commented: "As someone who started in club cricket, I understand how important club cricket is and the importance of having great facilities…..they look great."

Burridge were supported in this development through a significant grant from the ECB. Like most clubs Burridge is run by volunteers, raising its own funds to supplement the grant, and fabulously supported by their sponsors, including main sponsors C&L Management, Southern Power Tools and Rushdene Services.
