Sunbury cricket club
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sunbury Cricket Club is one of the largest and most vibrant cricket clubs in the South East of England with its own secluded and attractive ground.
On Saturdays, the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th XI play in the Shepherd Neame Surrey Championship. This is complemented by an occasional 5th XI who play friendly matches.
Each Sunday the Club fields up to 4 sides which are selected to reflect the strength of the opposition in a varied fixture list. Three of the sides, including the Academy XI (which features a mix of adult and younger colts) are entered in league competitions. The Club also enters four Cup competitions, including the Cockspur Cup and the Evening Standard Challenge Trophy.
The Club is pleased to have a very successful Colts section open to boys and girls of all standards aged between 5 and 17 with the junior colts playing ‘Kwik Cricket’. With some 250 colts, practice sessions are held and matches played most evenings of the week, and on Sunday mornings. Some afternoon matches are held during the school holidays. Amongst the most successful of our former colts are Richard Johnson formerly of Somerset, Middlesex and England and David Nash of Middlesex. Many former colts play in and captain the senior sides and serve on the Committee.
