Free Foresters Cricket Club
- Free Foresters Cricket Club
Free Foresters Cricket Club is an English amateur cricket club, established in 1856 for players from the Midland counties of England. It is a 'wandering' (or nomadic) club, having no home ground.
The club played its first match on 20th July, 1856 against the Pilgrims of the Dee, at the Rectory Ground in Sutton Coldfield. For many years their matches against Oxford and Cambridge Universities had first-class status, the last such game being that against Oxford at The Parks in June 1968.
The team colours are crimson, green and white, adopted in 1858. The badge consists of two capital Fs wrapped in a Hastings knot, with the motto 'United though Untied', signifying that players are free to play for other clubs, and even play against Free Foresters.
