London Fields CC is a community-focused club cricket club that draws its membership from the local community in and around London Fields and Victoria Park.
We play most Saturdays and Sundays throughout the summer: On Saturdays we compete in the North East London Cricket League, while on Sundays we play friendly matches at home and away, visiting clubs in Essex, Herts and Gloucestershire. We host a Belgian side from Mechelen on London Fields in July and we tour there in September (this year we're touring Slovenia, for a change).
Matches are generally 36 overs a side, with up to 6 overs per bowler. In friendlies we also play longer and shorter matches, and even timed games (more tea, vicar?).
We have a wide mix of players, ranging in ability from the very experienced to those just taking up the game for the first time.
Annual subs are £40 per season (£15 unwaged) and match fees are £4 and £1.50.
The Pub On The Park is very much the focus of the team, both during and outside the season, and the pitch is unique in Hackney for its setting (surrounded by London Plane trees on the boundary) and the number of people watching the game at any time (the park gets very crowded on hot days, and the London Fields Lido has just re-opened).
For more information, please drop us an email. Or you can always come and have a chat with us when we’re out on the Fields at the weekend.
