Sudbrook Cricket Club
Sudbrook Cricket Club was formed during the 1860s. It is believed that in the 1870s cricket was played at Black Rock, where W. G. Grace played against Sudbrook for a Bristol team. The team later played matches within the Iron Age camp, before moving several times, eventually to Caldicot where it remains. The club achieved league status in the 1970s, and currently plays in Division One of the Glamorgan and Monmouthshire Cricket League.

“All cries are thin and terse;
The field has droned the summer’s final mass;
A cricket like a dwindled hearse
Crawls from the dry grass.”
