Welcome
…… 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. We have a new pavilion which provides the club with fantastic 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.
In 2021 we ran two Saturday sides in the Fuller’s Brewery Surrey County League. The 1st XI came 7th in the Premier Division and the 2nd XI came second and gained promotion. For 2022 Shepherd Neame has taken over the sponsorship of the league and it is now known as the Surrey County League.
Our Sunday side/s play traditional friendly matches and also some league matches in the Village Cricket League (VCL). Our midweek team play twenty over friendlies throughout the summer on Wednesday evenings.
Our ladies, known as the Newdigate Ninjas, will be playing in the Surrey Women’s Cricket League . Contact Karen Fordree (kfordree@outlook.com ) for more information.
Our girls and boys, 5-12 years of age, meet on Friday evenings and our 14-17 year olds meet on Monday evenings at 6.00 pm for coaching . Our fun-filled Summer Camp will be held in July
We will be signing up to All Stars Cricket for the under 5-7s.

We believe in running a club which is open and equable to everyone and have been awarded the ECB Clubmark Accreditation in recognition of this achievement.

Simon Hughes has written in the May 2020 issue of the Cricketer:
“Sport is a temporary deflection away from reality, an uplifting experience after a hard week at work – whether playing or watching – or an opportunity to bond with people who share a communal passion”.
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!
