2025 Fixtures Out Now

Paddington Rabbits 2K25 – Bringing It All Back Home

 On Sunday the 6th of April it all begins again. Massive matches and dropped catches, old rivalries and new friends, fans in the stands and dogs on the pitch, constantly being hassled for cash by Everyone Active even though they couldn’t be bothered to sort out the pitch. Yes! It’s 2025, we’re still more-or-less alive and Paddington Rabbits ride again.

 2025 looks set to be a season like-no-other. The Gaffer has been busy putting together a packed schedule of games, sourcing top international talent in the transfer market and putting together a MAJOR new Rabbit benefits package (more on this soon, but it isn’t just home-made wine). Suffice to say there’s never been a better time to be a Rabbit.    

 The season starts with a Royal Rabbit Rumble. A big inter-squad game to see how well we’ve all wintered. Whether you’ve been with us for the last five years, never played before, know someone who you think might like to try cricket, come on down and bring them with you on Sunday April the 6th. Everybody’s welcome. Everybody plays.

 With that out of the way we get straight into a bumper run of games. Mostly on a Sunday and mostly at home, with more of our popular ‘Friday Night Fever’ T20 games than ever before being played on the Rec’s hallowed astro-turf. We’re a community club at heart and want to play at the heart of our community, while still reaching potential Rabbit fans around the globe. Don’t laugh. Last year we had fans fly over from France to cheer us on, which pretty much makes us THE WORLD’S LOCAL CLUB ™️.

 We have key clashes against all our best friends and greatest rivals: Northern Bastards, Chumpshire, The Islington Lions and Pacific. There are Big Rodent rampages against The Badgers and The Rats, a three-match series against arch-frienemies Strongroom Studios, and some spectacular new glamour ties against The Times Newspaper and The British Museum. (I always thought I’d end up stuffed in the British Museum. Let’s hope we don’t get stuffed by them.) The whole season builds up to a senses-shattering two-day test match against our fiercest opponents Southwark Park CC, that will see The Rec transformed into a pulsating Poundland version of The Gabba for the weekend.

 Come with us it’s going to be a fun ride.

Read All about Us

Earlier this season your Paddington Rabbits were flattered to receive a visit from the good people of Dome - a new magazine putting the focus on progressive voices and key cultural talking points across all levels of sport. We sat down with them to talk social inclusion, prawn sandwiches and (of course) indie rock.

Check out their first issue that includes a great article on Olympic medal-winning weightlifter Emily Campbell as well as a poster of our own Jimmy Raza!

Church of Merch

Morning Rabbitfans! There is a lifetime’s worth of brand new Rabbit tat you can blow your money on over at our new church of merch.

Celebrate the Miracle of Maida with a new bath mat, show your Rabbit pride with a delightful three buns wall tapestry, or marvel once again at his record-breaking 7 for 11 with a commemorative Mr Nicholas fridge magnet or mini skirt. (Pictured is the apron not the skirt).

Plus t-shirts, stickers, bags, some rather experimental looking yoga trousers… tell a friend!

We. Are. Back.

Hi everyone, cricket is back to make everything okay again.

I’m thrilled to say that our great mates at Everyone Active have re-opened the nets at the Rec, and booked in our matches for the 2021 season.

Your Rabbits return to their traditional Thursday night nets from 6pm - 9pm, and have a fully loaded weekend season of games this year. Come on down to give the game a go, or just have a nice afternoon out and say hello. It would be great to see you (in fairness, at this late stage, it will be great to see anyone).

Of course, pandemic means things will still be a bit weird this year. Games and nets are subject to cancellation due to plague, and we will be following all recommended guidelines on safety and social distancing. At present, this means that the changing rooms will be closed, there should be no more than six Rabbits per lane and, there’s no spitting on or licking the balls. To be honest, that always seemed gross (and the changing rooms aren’t great anyway) so it’s no great loss.

Our season starts with a Rabbits inter-squad match on Easter Sunday the 4th of April. We’ve got a lot of games this season, so we’re going to have rotate the squad quite a lot. Come on down on Sunday (from 1130 am) to impress the selectors early doors.

Here’s the revised line up of games for the year. All of this is, of course, subject to massive change.

Cheers!
