The Freebooters
The Freebooters (known in the 80s as the Woebegones or Wobes), with their pirate insignia, were traditionally the Second XI, and now represent the more social side of Wadham cricket.
Alumnus Fergus McKendrick's (1933-1997) (1951, Physiology) light-hearted description of the Freebooters can be read in the below extract from his 1983 book Pulpit Cricket. (Reprinted by permission of HarperCollins Publishers Ltd ©Fergus McKendrick 1983).
Wadham's Cricket Ground
Wadham's cricket pavilion and pitch are located in Marston Ferry Road, Oxford.
To get to the ground, head out of Oxford on the Banbury Rd. Turn right at the lights onto Marston Ferry Rd and then left after about 500 yards just before the entrance to the Cherwell School.
