The Common, Swardeston
The Common is the club’s oldest ground with the club having played there since the late 1960s, after moving from the former pitch based at Mulbarton Common.
Situated in the heart of the village, it is host to most of the club’s senior cricket with both Thurlow Nunn East Anglian Premier League and Lacons Brewery Norfolk Cricket Alliance matches being played there.
Renowned as a superb batting wicket, The Common at one stage held the one-day Minor Counties scoring record following a game between Norfolk and Lincolnshire in the 1980s.
