…… to the Newdigate Cricket Club web site.
We are a thriving cricket club, playing on a picturesque ground, situated on the Surrey/Sussex border, equidistant from Dorking, Reigate and Horsham. The new pavilion is now fully functioning so we have a fabulous headquarters.
This is what Surrey County Cricket club has written about us. “Premier side Newdigate, a bastion of village cricket on the Surrey/Sussex border and relative newcomers after starting life in 1849. Playing a full part in the heart of their community, they arrived late in league cricket by joining the Surrey Downs League in 1999 and switched to the Fuller’s in 2013.”
We offer a friendly environment for cricketers of all ages and abilities. This year we will be running two Saturdays sides in the Fuller’s Brewery Surrey County League.
In 2019 the 1st XI came third and the 2nd XI came fifth in their respective leagues.
As an alternative to league matches our Sunday side plays traditional friendly matches and our midweek team play twenty over friendlies throughout the summer on Wednesday evenings.
Our ladies have entered the Ladies ‘Smash-It’ League under the name of the Newdigate Ninjas. See calendar for fixtures and contact Karen Fordree (karen.fordree@btinternet.com) for more information.

Our girls and boys (5-14 years of age) meet on Fridays throughout the season for coaching and play matches in the East Surrey Colts League. In 2019 we entered teams at under 9, 11, 12, 13 and 14 level and the under 13s played in the Surrey County Cup. For the 2019 season, 30 five to seven year olds signed up for ALL STARS CRICKET and attended training sessions on Friday evenings. ALL STARS is proving to be a great success nationally. In 2019, 2212 clubs participated and 67,000 children attended!
In 2020 we will be witnessing some changes as all junior cricket in the county will be united under the Surrey Cricket Foundation umbrella.
ALSO NEW FOR 2020 – We have entered an U13 side in the indoor Identilam 6-a-Side competition which is being played at Tanbridge House School. See calendar for fixtures.
We have also signed up for the new ECB initiative called Dynamos Cricket. It is for 8-11 year olds. More details to follow.
We believe in running a club which is open and equable to everyone and have been awarded the ECB Clubmark FOCUS Accreditation in recognition of this achievement.

IMPORTANT – STROKES, BLOOD CLOTS ETC.
This is for everyone. If somebody stumbles unaccountably they may have had a stroke. Ask them to smile, to say a simple sentence or raise both arms. Also ask them to stick out their tongue and check if it is crooked. If they cannot do any of these simple things call the emergency service (details on the notice board on the balcony) as they may have had a stroke. Time is of the essence you might just save a life!
