[edit] Promotions
Oldswinford gained promotion to the the Worcestershire County Cricket League Division 2 in 2006 after a successful campaign. In their fist season in the Worcestershire County Cricket League Division 2 they surprised many by yet again gaining promotion to a high league in a close race to promotion with local rivals Netherton CC (who eventually got promoted to Division 1 anyway).

Several Oldswinford players were listed on the official Worcestershire County Cricket League [1] website. These included:

[edit] Facilities
Oldswinford CC currently has 3 nets and one roll on net which can be used on the Artificial pitch. There is a bar open on match days and Friday nights. There is also dressing rooms for teams and umpires. After their promotion to Division 1 in 2007 Oldswinford will have to create a 3rd XI and provide covers for their playing pitches. This could be awkward due to the possibility of vandalism in the local area.
[edit] Other
Newcomer to the first team James Holloway became something of a local celebrity in 2007, after his image was used by local paper Stourbridge News for a number of consecutive weeks whist reporting on Oldswinford results.
