Horspath CC 2004-

Since the reforming of the club in the 2004 season, the club has enjoyed its most successful run: Adrian Manger has led the 1st XI to four consecutive promotions from Division 5 in 2004 to Division 2 for the 2007 season. While Gordon Hamilton (and in 2006 Alex Eason) have mirrored this in the 2nd XI by gaining three consecutive promotions leaving the 2nd XI in Division 6 for the 2007 season having been in Division 9 in 2004. In the 2006 season the club introduced a 3rd XI, who went on to win Division 9b. To cap off a remarkable 2006 season the club reached the final of the Oxfordshire leg of the Village cup.

2007 proved to be another highly successful year for the club with Adrian Manger leading the 1st XI to the Division 2 title (4 years of consecutive promotion), while Nick Birks led the 3rd XI to the Division 8 title. The 1st XI once again reached the final of the Oxfordshire leg of the Village Cup, only to lose by bowl-out.

The 2008 season will see the 1st XI playing the highest standard of cricket in the club's history in the Oxford Times Cherwell League's Division 1.
