The Cricket Club have got off to a flying start both on and off the field. The first game of the season was won by the Under 9’s team, winning the Club’s opening game against Horsley and the 1st team also having a big win later that day.

The social side is going very well and the bar is serving a lot of drinking as is the kitchen with food. Our Annual Colts Tournament is on the Rec on Sunday 15th June and we hope it will be as successful as ever.

Please pop down to the club if you want to play, have a child that wants to play, or just fancy a beer.

The rain seems to have finally relented and the ground drying out which means the Cricket Season is upon us.

We are expecting a very busy season with 3 adult league sides (2 on Saturdays and 1 Sunday Side), 5 Junior League teams at ages from Under 9 to Under 15, a progression side (older colts mixing in with adults to play similar sides on a Friday evening) and of course our very popular Kindergarten providing training for little ones who are either in Reception, Year 1 or 2 who meet at the rec on Sunday Mornings.

Please pop along if you are interested in playing or just want to be part of a fantastic club. The bar is open to social members and we are an inclusive club so feel free to come and have a pint or glass of wine etc.

The Adult Section of the club is Vibrant with 3 League sides ( 2 Saturday and 1 Sunday). Most of these teams are made up of a mixture of young lads who have previously come through the colts system and the experienced players. All 3 sides are currently doing exceptionally well and the club is in a very strong position. Home games on Saturday start at 1:30 and the bar is open from around 5:30 and social membership is available to all. Sunday 16th June witnessed our annual Colts 6-A-Side Tournament where we had 20 sides playing on 3 pitches which was again very successful.
