Oxford Cricket Club is one of the county’s largest clubs, with both its men’s and women’s first teams playing in the Home Counties Premier Cricket Leagues.
It has existed in one form or another for 130 years, and had played at sites across the city over that time before relocating to the OUP ground a decade ago.
The Romans currently field four men’s teams, two women’s XIs and 13 youth teams – with some home fixtures played elsewhere in the city, at Marston Sports Ground.
In a statement announcing the closure last week, OUP said “core facilities” such as changing rooms and toilets would remain open “until the whole site closes at the end of September”.
“Those who regularly use and access the site, including external parties, have been informed,” it added.
