Sidcup Cricket Club

We are delighted to announce that Sport England have accepted our application to fund the renovation of the 1st team square and outfield to the tune of £46,000. This work will see the square skimmed and re-seeded and the whole outfield levelled to provide a true playing surface, albeit on a slight slope,just like Lords! The work is planned to commence at the beginning of October and continue for several months but will be ready by the start of the 2014 season. This is fantastic news at the start of this season which we can look forward to with even more optimism about the future of SCC.

Well everyone, its that time of year already!

The sun is beating down on HQ, the grass is mown, the wickets are soon to be marked and the league season is about to begin!

This weekend sees everyone apart from the 1st (friendly vs Orpington) and 2nd XI starting their campaigns in the various leagues this Saturday. With fun and food a plenty at HQ (and Waring Park!) take some time out and come down to support the teams throughout the day!

The 2013 Season got underway last weekend with 2 days of great matches at the Club! Despite the chilly temperatures, the first match of the weekend on Saturday was played for the most part in glorious sunshine! Beggy's Borrowers squared off against Mike's Buchaneers in the intra-club fixture with each side having a solid mix of players from all levels of the club! In the end, the Buchaneers proved the victors in what was a good game with everyone having a part to play.

The Cricket force day planned for this Sunday 24th March has been postponed and will now take place on Sunday 31st March. Please arrive at the Club for 10 a.m. to help us put up the nets and sightscreens. The more members that turn up the quicker we will be finished. We should be done by lunchtime.

The winners were Alan McCawley's team of youth and experience with the unpronouncable team name!
