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!

“Playing cricket at Fernhurst with like-minded women is one of the best things I ever did.” It was the quote of the season when one of the Fernhurst Flames players said this to Libby Adey, who chairs the team and represents it on the main committee. "We pride ourselves in having a fun and friendly atmosphere," said Libby. "As generic as that sounds it really is true! We have the most supportive and welcoming coaches, all of whom trust and believe in our mission. One of the most important things is to ensure this environment is safe and nurturing, not only for our junior players but for our women too. I strongly believe our women and girls section has the most incredible dynamic. Fernhurst CC is home to strong, independent women who back each other and work together to do something we all enjoy."
