Cricket has been played in Cublington for over 140
years with the club as it is today founded in 1955.
In 1997 a new pavilion was built with assistance from
the Lottery and this wonderful facility is the home of
cricket, tennis and local community events. It was
extended to include a fabulous scorebox in 2005.
Until the late 90’s friendly fixtures were played on
Saturdays or Sundays and it was not uncommon for the
Captain to be found scouring the village to try and find
a full compliment of players around lunchtime on the day
of the match.
The decline of village friendly cricket led to the
formation in 1998 of a small group of people from a cross
section of club members, who looked at all aspects of the
club and created a ‘Vision’ for cricket in Cublington.
Since then the club has been transformed and energised
by the introduction of Action groups for the key areas of
activity. On the playing side Junior teams (U9 to U17),
Saturday League cricket, Mid week League cricket,
qualified coaches, umpires and scorers have all been
introduced.
The ground and facilities are continuously improving.
At the end of the 2007 season our square was
refurbished/relaid thanks to an ECB/CCDF. In all in the
period 2005-2007 we have been recipients of over £60,000
of different grant money.
We have an excellent relationship with the Bucks
County Cricket Board, with representation on the board
and in all County competitions.
Cricket in Cublington is based on 4 cores values:
- Youth development
- Community
- Sustainability
- Enjoyment
We welcome all types of new members and do hope you
enjoy visiting this website and our club.
