The Saracens are celebrating their centenary in 2025. Accordingly to documents held in the school archives, the club was initially formed in 1925 as "The Old Salopian Cricket Club" by twelve OSs at the conclusion of a match against the Schools. The club then rebranded as the "Shrewsbury Saracens' CC" in December 1926, to reflect the fact that membership was limited to "Old Salopians, having certain cricket qualifications" and that members needed to be elected by the club's committee.
The club will be holding a number of events to mark this superb century, the first of which is a dinner taking place at The Kia Oval in London on Saturday 29 March 2025. If you would like to attend what promises to be a great evening both celebrating the past and looking forward to the future, please contact the club's Secretary Tom Cox ([email protected]) or Holly Fitzgerald ([email protected]), who can provide more details and pricing information. Unlike 100 years ago your presence will not need to be approved by the committee, but you will need to be signed (or signing) up to pay your subs!
