At Wodr, we’re passionate about supporting local communities, businesses and organisations that bring people together. That’s why we’re proud to continue our partnership with Worcestershire County Cricket Club. This partnership strengthens a relationship that already sees Wodr and our sister company, Utility Stream, supporting the club with their business water and energy utilities.
A Rich History Behind Worcestershire County Cricket Club
Founded in 1865, Worcestershire County Cricket Club has been at the heart of English cricket for more than 150 years. Based at the iconic New Road Ground in Worcester, the club has built a reputation for producing outstanding players… as well as creating memorable moments for supporters across generations.
Situated alongside the River Severn, New Road is one of the most picturesque grounds in the country and remains a focal point for sport and community life in Worcestershire. And now even more so as it features the wonderful Wodr-Sponsored Hospitality Bar!
Supporting Worcestershire Cricket Through Water, Energy and Sponsorship
For some time now, Wodr (and it’s sister company Utility Stream) have proudly supported Worcestershire County Cricket Club by helping manage their business water and energy utilities. This partnership allows the club to focus on delivering fantastic experiences for players, members and supporters, while we help ensure their essential services run efficiently behind the scenes.
And for the second year running, we’re delighted to take our support a step further by sponsoring one of the club’s hospitality bars, helping to enhance the matchday experience for members, guests and supporters alike. As the hospitality bar reopened for the summer season, there seemed no better way to celebrate than by getting the whole Wodr team together for a day at the cricket.
The Wodr Team Heads to Watch Worcestershire Rapids
With excitement building, the team jumped aboard a minibus and made the journey to Worcester to enjoy an evening of T20 cricket.
The match certainly didn’t disappoint. Worcestershire Rapids Men posted a competitive 168/8 before restricting Glamorgan Men to 141 all out, securing a convincing 27-run victory for the home side. The atmosphere around the ground was fantastic, and it was great to see supporters enjoying the hospitality facilities throughout the evening.
An Added Bonus!
Now, you might think that watching Worcestershire Rapids claim a brilliant victory would be the highlight of the day. But you’d be wrong. As the team made the short walk to the ground, we spotted a few very familiar faces staring back at us from the billboards outside New Road.
There, proudly displayed for everyone arriving at the grounds, were members of our very own Wodr team! The snaps were taken from our visit the previous year (and there was a particular spotlight on Joe!).
Safe to say there were a few surprised reactions, laughter and more than a couple of photo opportunities before we even made it through the gates.
It’s not every day you arrive at a cricket ground and find yourself featured on the billboards
Looking Ahead to More Worcestershire Rapids Action This Summer
Our visit to New Road was a fantastic reminder of why partnerships like this matter. Supporting local clubs strengthens communities, creates memorable experiences and brings people together. We’re proud to work alongside Worcestershire County Cricket Club through our utility services and hospitality bar sponsorship. We look forward to many more successful seasons ahead, both on and off the pitch.
Congratulations to Worcestershire Rapids on a fantastic win, and here’s to a great summer of cricket at New Road.
