Rotherfield Cricket Club
League & village cricket in East Sussex
Rotherfield Cricket Club is a long-established village club
whose roots have been traced back to the early nineteenth century.
Our ground is set in a quiet rural location with picturesque views
across the fields to Crowborough, two miles to the west. We have
a small, but comfortable and homely, pavilion and bar, and take
pride in providing a decent tea!
On Saturdays Rotherfield fields two teams in the 12 Division
Parker Building Supplies East Sussex Cricket League, one of the
largest in the country. Last season (2008) our First XI finished
third in Division 4 and our Second XI third in Division 9, which
means that our Second XI will play in Division 8 in 2009. On Sundays
we run one friendly eleven, where the emphasis is very much on
getting everyone involved within a sociable, relaxed environment.
Most of the Sunday matches are at home. During midweek mid-summer,
Rotherfield participates with neighbouring villages in the Greensand
League, a 15 overs evening competition that produces a lot of
spectacular cricket and exciting finishes. Last year the club
also embarked on a tour to East Anglia.
New players of all ages and abilities are always welcome. Annual
subscriptions continue to be held at just £20 for adults
and £10 for juniors. Match fees are £5 and £3
respectively. If you are interested in joining us, please email
this website or call John Baldock on 01435 863884. Or feel
welcome to come up to the ground and take a look for yourself.
A new sister website has been set up http://www.pitchero.com/clubs/rotherfieldcricketclub
which will allow upload videos, share photos and showcase our
club to the world. Take a look - It would be extremely helpful
if all players could register so that we can manage our club effectively.
