Fernhurst Cricket Club

A community cricket club in Fernhurst, West Sussex for men, women & juniors

We don't like cricket.

We love it.

Come and join us ...

The good times are easy but how you react to adversity is the true measure of any club. In 2025 Fernhurst CC faced a few bouncers and, thanks to our strong membership and committee, we weathered the storm. Problems with the square were an issue mid-season (and have now been rectified) and on the playing side I believe we will be stronger in 2026. The immediate aim is for the 1st XI to get promoted back into Division 2 of the I'Anson league. 

There were many positives in 2025 including the third Spring Bank Holiday T10 tournament and another enjoyable 'overseas tour' to the Isle of Wight. The Under 12s had a barnstorming title-winning season while there were strong performances for the Fernhurst Flames in the women's league and the men's 2nd XI. The Sunday XI continued to attract new players and visitors with their friendly matches and very strong teas (they also get to play at Arundel Castle and Stansted Park). 162 matches were recorded on PlayCricket, 91 of which were staged at home.

Based in West Sussex, right on the borders of Hampshire and Surrey, we are surrounded by beautiful woodland and play in the shadow of Blackdown. After much fundraising, the pavilion was the final piece in the jigsaw, opening for the 2023 season.


The inaugural beer festival in 2025 was fantastic and will make a return and Trevan's Terrace within the picket fence has already made a big impression. For 2026 our replacement John Deere mower will make its impact and the new roller will improve the outfield. I must mention our unflappable ground-staff of Will Dyer and Jack Whittington while thanking all who help to make Fernhurst CC such a resilient, positive and friendly club.


Come and be part of it - 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'. The fixture lists are full as we look forward to the new season. We are proud to represent Fernhurst in our many away fixtures but, of course, playing at home is best!

Fernhurst CC 2025 Awards

by Simon Vigar • 31 December 2025
The most glittering night of the West Sussex social calendar saw a big crowd pack the pavilion for the Fernhurst Cricket Club annual Awards Dinner. The full list is below but a special mention must go to 2nd XI lynchpin Abdur Rahman who scooped all three team awards. Sam Meier received the Captain's Award for the 1st XI while his sister Ella won the bowling trophy for the Fernhurst Flames. The Players' Player trophy for the women went to Kate Ashdown: the prize is named after pioneering England player Molly Hide who lived on Blackdown. Young leg spinner Charlie Langridge won the Sunday bowling shield while fast bowler Hamish Unwin was named the 'Best Junior' playing in senior cricket. The ground staff team of Will Dyer and Jack Whittington were deserved winners of the Fernhurst Diamonds award. They responded to all the usual challenges of a season, with a couple more loaded on top, with typical dedication and good humour. Congratulations to all.

Trevan's Terrace is open!

by Simon Vigar • 7 September 2025
One of the club's Vice Presidents officially opened the refurbished terrace before the final Saturday game of the season. Patricia Hingston made a generous donation to ensure we could make big improvements to the 'high traffic' area within the picket fence. Patricia unveiled the plaque in honour of her late husband Trevan, who was President of Fernhurst CC from 1987-2009. It includes the famous quotation from the great cricket writer Neville Cardus, "It is far more than a game, this cricket."

League preview

by Simon Vigar • 14 April 2025
The first Saturday in May means the return of men’s league cricket to the Rec, with the 2nd XI at home to Brook and the 1st XI travelling to Worplesdon. The I’Anson League is the oldest, continuous village league and was a closed shop for many years, before opening up in the mid-1990s, which is when Fernhurst joined. Frensham, Grayshott & Headley are among the opponents and, much more recently, Haslemere have joined the fray.
