About Us
Gerrards Cross Cricket Club is part of the Gerrards Cross Sports Club which consists of, Cricket, Hockey and Tennis. The club moved to its present site in 1912 when the cricket club was offered land behind the Parish church. Previously the club had played on the common opposite the Bull Hotel. A Tennis Section was formed soon afterwards and in the early 1950s many of the cricketers, who were keen hockey players, created a winter section which kept the club active throughout the year.

The cricket club has been in existence since 1882. A former winner of the Thames Valley League, the 1st XI was promoted in 2002 and played its first season in the Home Counties Premier League in 2003, finishing in third place. The 1st XI finished as runners-up in 2006 and 2007. The 2nd XI won the Thames Valley League Division 3a title in 2004 and played in Division 2b in 2005.

There are two adult sides on a Saturday and one on a Sunday. There is also a large young cricketers section of over 100, playing at all age groups from 7 to 16. The club is proud of the number of colts that have been selected for Buckinghamshire in recent years. One former Cross player has played Test Match cricket for England - Andrew Strauss.

In 1985 a magnificent club house was built to replace the ageing tennis and cricket pavilions and this has enabled the club to expand. This is a thriving and extremely social club where all sections support and enjoy each others company. If you are moving to the area or did not know of our existence then come and pay us a visit.
