Blairgowrie Cricket Club

07/09/2026

🏆 Every now and again, something turns up telling the story of Blairgowrie Cricket Club — and this one is rather special.

We’ve recently been incredibly fortunate to receive an old 7-a-side cricket cup, presented by John Johnston Coupar in 1938.
That makes this little trophy almost 90 years old — and it takes us right back to a time before the JJ Coupar Sports Ground became the home we know today.

John Johnston Coupar would later play such an important role in the story of cricket in Blairgowrie, but this cup gives us a wonderful glimpse into the cricketing world of the town before the ground was purchased.

As we rebuild Blairgowrie Cricket Club today, we’re incredibly proud to be able to reconnect with the generations of cricketers who came before us.

Different generations.
Different players.
But the same love of cricket.

A huge thank you to Jamie and Kevin who have returned this wonderful piece of history to the club. It will be treasured.

Some things are worth keeping.
Some things are worth remembering.
And some things are worth bringing home. 🏏

🏏 What a belter of a day at the Blairgowrie & Rattray Highland Games

We had an absolute ball bringing our throwing challenge along and introducing lots of folk to Blairgowrie Cricket Club and the wonderful sport of cricket.

There were plenty of laughs, some cracking throws, a few that were… well… interesting 😂 and more than one person discovering that bowling a cricket ball isn’t quite as easy as it looks!

It was brilliant seeing so many people having a go, asking questions and learning a bit more about our club. Who knew cricket could cause so much competitive spirit at a Highland Games?!

A massive thank you to the organisers for putting on such a fantastic day and for having us along. We loved every minute of it.

A great day, great company and plenty of Scottish spirit. See you next year 🏏

🏏 What a way to finish the season!

The rain didn’t stop play at our generations 6s, and it certainly didn’t dampen the spirits. We had some fantastic cricket on show, a delicious BBQ, brilliant kids’ entertainment and, most importantly, a whole lot of laughter, fun and happy faces.

But today felt like more than just a cricket day.

Standing around the ground and seeing so many people enjoying cricket together really brought home just how far the club has come since it was reestablished last year.

To see children picking up a bat and ball, adults playing alongside them, families coming down to support, volunteers giving their time, and former players and Life Members returning to share in the day is something we can all be incredibly proud of.

It was particularly special to welcome back some familiar faces from the club’s history.

Colin Robertson and Derek Pillinger, ex-players and Life Members, spent time looking through their old scorebooks and reminiscing about days gone by. They opened the bowling together so memories came flooding back. Apparently they don’t remember quite so many ducks! 😂🦆

We were also delighted to have the Oudneys with us to present the brand-new Dick Oudney Memorial 6s Shield — a really special moment and a lovely way to remember Dick and his connection with the club.

And of course, the one and only Gordie Croll, who did a sterling job of umpiring throughout the day!

A massive thank you to Tony, who popped down with more gas for the BBQ when we needed it, our fantastic catering team, the amazing donated cakes, tea and coffee, our umpires, coaches, helpers and our brilliant grounds team who are forever working so hard to keep the ground looking fantastic. Not forgetting our incredible sponsors. Your support is overwhelmingly spectacular!

And finally, thank you to every single person who came along today — whether you played, volunteered, brought the kids, ate cake, cheered from the sidelines or simply came down to enjoy the day with us.

You are what makes this club.

From the first training sessions last year to seeing a day like today, with generations of players, families and supporters together on the same ground, it’s hard not to feel incredibly proud of what we are building.

There is a real sense of community around this club again, and today was a wonderful reminder of just how special that is.

This is Blairgowrie Cricket Club.
This is what cricket is all about.
And we’ve got so much to look forward to.

Thank you all for an absolutely brilliant season. 2027 is looking incredible already 🏏

🏏 Blairgowrie Juniors vs Strathmore 🏏

What a lovely evening in Blairgowrie as we welcomed Strathmore for our final organised match of the season!

Blairgowrie had a fantastic turnout, meaning we were able to field different teams for both matches — a brilliant reflection of the enthusiasm and commitment from our young players. 👏

Both games were incredibly close, with the results coming down to the final over. Unfortunately, Blairgowrie couldn’t quite get over the line, losing both matches, but the performances from our young teams were absolutely fantastic.

There were plenty of positives to take away, and if this evening is anything to go by, there are some amazing things to come from these youngsters! 🌟

Keep working hard, keep enjoying your cricket and, most importantly, keep at it everyone! 💪🏏

A huge well done to all the players, coaches and supporters for another brilliant evening of junior cricket. 👏

Friday night saw Blairgowrie Cricket Club under 12s hardball team come up just short against Forfarshire in a 16-over match.

BCC were put into bat first and scored 63 runs, losing 6 wickets. Dylan Harrison, Lewis Moffat and Douglas Crichton were amongst the runs. 🏏

BCC bowled very well and took 5 wickets, with the wickets shared around, but Forfarshire edged ahead with some good batting and running between the wickets.

Overall, the team performed very well, especially with this being their first game back in over a month. Everyone deserves a lot of credit for the improvement they've made since the start of the season. They have come on leaps and bounds! 👏

Plenty more to come and still lots of room to improve over the remaining few games. Keep going, team! 💪🏏
