Generally the Club play 20 over a side evening friendly matches although it does participate in 2 annual competitions - the Edinbugh Insurance Cup and the Edinbugh Public Parks Association Trophy which is one of the oldest competitions in Scotland having first been played for in 1891.

Over the seasons the Club has expanded its fixture list and now makes regular trips to Fife, East Lothian, West Lothian and the Borders.

The Club continues to look out for new opponents / fixtures - please send us an e-mail to the Club Contacts.

The Club was formed in 1970 to play regular evening cricket matches against other offices and clubs in Edinburgh, although a few matches were played prior to 1970 as part of inter-office competitions.  The Club is based around the employees of Scottish Widows PLC in Edinburgh.  The majority of the Club's home fixtures are played at the Inch Park in Edinburgh.

Although evening matches are the norm, the occasional afternoon matches are played and the Club's enthusiasm has extended to touring and no fewer than 7 tours have taken place.
