We don't like cricket.
We love it.
Come and join us ...
Our fantastic new pavilion is the third in the history of Fernhurst CC and the first season in the new building was, as ever, very busy. The facilities were admired by our many visiting teams as we adjusted to life in our new home. What a delight after Covid and the construction year to be in palatial changing rooms: we truly now have one of the best set ups for miles around.
Based in West Sussex, right on the borders of Hampshire and Surrey, we are surrounded by beautiful woodland and are proud of an excellent square, outfield and practice nets. After much fundraising, the pavilion is the final piece in the jigsaw. You are very welcome to come and join us.
The weather wasn’t as kind as 2022 but the club still participated in some 138 games across all teams which is only just short of the record set last year.
These are some of the highlights:
· The May Bank Holiday cricket tournament and community opening event
· First tour to the Isle of Wight, winning both games
· The addition of boundary wedges will not just bring in sponsorship funds over coming years but further enhanced the professional look of the ground
· 1st XI title winners
· U15 title winners
· Hosting five Sussex seniors county matches, including a semi-final
· Seeing so many of our youngsters, including the girls, making their debuts in I’Anson League cricket
We have grown rapidly in the last decade and pride ourselves on being friendly and inclusive - there is a role or a team for everyone at Fernhurst, whatever the age or ability. Our membership subscription fees are low because we believe in 'Sport for All'.
2024 marks the centenary of Fernhurst CC's first wooden pavilion being built. Now, in our new home, I look ahead with as much excitement as ever in anticipation of what our club will achieve.
Kind regards, Jon Meier
Chairman, Fernhurst Cricket Club
