CRICKET CLUB SEIZES CHANCE TO MOVE TO NEXT LEVEL
Claygate Cricket Club is gearing up for an exciting 2025 season with new developments and opportunities for players of all ages and abilities.
The 1st XI team has joined a new merged league and will compete in Division 7 West of the Surrey Championship. This marks a significant milestone in the club's history and offers the challenge of competitive cricket at a higher level. The team is eager to demonstrate its strength and determination on the field.
For the growing women's team, 2025 is also a special year, as it has entered its first soft play cricket league, providing a fantastic platform for women of all skill levels to participate.
This move reflects the club’s commitment to inclusivity and fostering a welcoming environment for everyone. The women's team trains every Friday evening, and new members are welcome and encouraged to join – whether they are seasoned players or new to cricket.
Claygate Cricket Club is also looking for local businesses and individuals to support the club in an exciting sponsorship drive as it grows. Sponsorship opportunities provide excellent exposure and a chance to support a vibrant and thriving club.

CLAYGATE CRICKET CLUB
The 2024 season provided another summer of success on and off the field. The first team, led by captain Luke Webb, finished eighth in Division Two, after securing promotion last year. The Sunday team also enjoyed a fruitful season. Led by Hugh Taggart, it attracts a diverse mix of players.
The summer was filled with youth training camps, which attracted numerous youngsters, with coaching from experienced players. We were also thrilled to announce a sponsorship with Zeitoun, Claygate’s Lebanese restaurant.
The club’s women’s team enjoyed another summer of progress. It is looking to enter league cricket next summer. To join, please email info@claygatecricket.co.uk.

CRICKET CLUB ADDS OPPORTUNITIES FOR WOMEN
Claygate Cricket Club enjoyed a terrific 2023 season, achieving success on and off the field.
The first team secured promotion to Division Two of the Surrey County League, and this summer will play the likes of West End Esher, and Whiteley Village. The first of 18 league games begins on Saturday May 11 at home, with the season concluding on September 7.
The Sunday Friendly team has 23 games arranged from mid-April onwards, with most being played on the Recreation Ground.
Pre-season training began in January at Claremont Fan Court School, with members using the nets. More than 180 members of the club’s expanding colts teams, aged five to 16, have also been training this winter, with top quality coaching and guidance.
Last year, a women’s softball side was set up for players 16 and over, with the team focusing on the social aspect and enjoyment of the game. No experience or equipment is necessary for those interested in joining, with free taster sessions at the Rec every Friday from 6pm, with drinks after training. The aim for this season is to grow the women’s side, with more games and hard-ball training.
New players are always welcome. For further information, visit www.claygatecricket.co.uk and follow the social media channels for regular updates: @claygatecricket.
